Habib Alimohamma Valued Member Australia 143 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 01:24 am Hi everybody, Recently I found this Roman coin(attached file), but could not find any Roman coin similar to this. Aparantly it is copper coin but I am not sure yet. The obverse is showing the bust of a king/ soldier or Emperor and the reverse has a picture of a bull. Therefore, I am requesting your kind help to have an idea about it. With best regards, Habib. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 10:00 am I'd take it to be Greek rather than Roman. There's quite a large number of issues to search through with Athena on the obverse and a bull on the reverse. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16805 Posts	Posted 09/05/2023 6:28 pm That cracking all over the surface implies to me that it's a modern cast fake, and not a genuine coin. I believe it is attempting to copy the Athena-and-bull silver coinage of the city of Thouroi. Example on WIldwinds. It is, of course, not silver.
