Phony as a Milli Vanilli song!

 

I got the same coins 25 years ago......in a box of Cracker Jack !

 

Oh...c'mon, that would mean they're made of plastic Any idea of what they are trying to copy?

 

..someone making money?? 9_9...

 

LOL, NAILED it!!!

 

Don't some of you guys have coins with the same designs?

 

Image 4/4 looks Sicilian Syracuse-esque.

 

Ben Hur comes to mind. Carry on dear fellows........

 

Image 2 is "trying" to be Lucius Verus sestertius and image 1 is probably the "reverse".

The bust style is all wrong (amongst other parts), and the legend is pretty faint for an unworn coin (the dotted surround is too perfect and raised higher than the legend)... Very fake.

 

yeah L Vervs in the legend but looks more similar to Sept. Severus...i'd say they're fantasy coins

 

Thanks to all, I'll respond to the offer telling them to keep their day job.

 

Imitative cast medal of a Roman coin type.
The British Museum, coin Nr. B.12967, displays a Sestertius of Lucius Verus Pius (39 mm, 19.71 g), with the following description:
"Copper alloy medal; Renaissance invention of a Roman coin type. Obverse Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus, right; reverse: Quadriga rushing left. School / style Paduan, Giovanni da Cavino, 16th century or later. Curator's comments: There are no Roman coins of this type, but the reverse image imitates Syracusan decadrachms. Bibliography: Klawans 1977 2, p.99, Klawans 1977 5, p.96."
Your medal is an imitation, 16th century or later;
I have also one like this. I keep it because I find it interesting
