ill be darned, what an interesting coin.
when askea said indo-roman, i thought he was joking!

good call sir!

 

Nah. This is from my dude in Sri Lanka. An expert numismatist with many unique goods.

 

Ancient imports has 80+ of them, assorted motifs, although all very low grade. Interesting stuff

 

Question do you know clark street

 

Interesting for sure, but they do not exist in high grade. I have inquired extensively.

You have to realize they are indigenous copies of already old and worn coins, they are nummi sized and weakly struck before they were even circulated.

 

Pretty sneaky and way cool A-noob!!

A Roman imitative from Sri Lanka....What's next, a tribute penny from the Aztecs??????

 

No, we already have been there (Indian but East Indian not Aztec).

 

They recently discovered a Roman mint in Antarctica...

Similar to the imitative you posted but the reverse is clearly different but I think it might have been trying to imitate...
