Siliqua or AE3?

    Hi all!

    Does this look like a siliqua or an AE3 to you? The coin does look quite silvery, particularly on the reverse, and some yellow-gold deposits on the obverse.

    It was sold with a coin which is definitely a siliqua, which is partly why I'm wondering

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Oh right :(
    Only paid £20 for the pair, so I can't complain
