Sap Moderator Australia 16818 Posts	Posted 08/02/2009 8:17 pm Actually, it's a bronze follis from mediaeval Hungary, crudely imitating Byzantine and/or Venetian coin types, usually attributed to the reign of Bela III (1172-1196). Since CoinArchives is now out of action, there's an example here on the CalgaryCoin website. These have indeed been faked in modern times but the fakes I've seen haven't been as heavily worn as this piece. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
