january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 10:34 am Neat article! I've bought this coin as a probable ancient fake, though I have yet to figure out ancient fake of what exactly... Best I can tell it's trying to imitate a 5th century semissis and/or tremissis, but I can't read the obverse legend well enough to identify it any further. The photos are a fairly close approximation of the in-hand color. Report this Post to the Staff
