Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 876 Posts	Posted 10/23/2025 12:17 pm This is my first time posting in Ancient coins which I know nothing about. I would like to identify it using your help. I am pretty sure it is Roman. The wt is 2.75 gr. The diameter averages at 18.31mm. Your help is much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Should be 7.7g., dia. 19.5. The damaged area is discolored. The coin I mentioned here is cold. I think this is a fake. Report this Post to the Staff

The silver version is the famous Jesus era tribute penny. So these have that worth as silver coins and there would be no reason to make a fake gold one this light unless it was just for fun. If you are a christian you might give it to your church. Make a great story piece the way Jesus answered the question to not get in trouble with Rome when they tired to trick him. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=4337907 Report this Post to the Staff
