dear drusus : thank you for your repaly but you see it in v.f so you say it fake ?? my friend i collect roman coins since 6 years and this coin is original and there is many design like it so we cant sure that it spanish mint the spanish mint look like the photo below regard
Thats fine, do me a favor, the silver denarius you have linked looks to be the example from wildwinds. They have several different versions of this coin there, all silver denarius. Link to me another example of YOUR coin (in bronze) from a reputable reference site like wildwinds, or give me any reference that details this coin and I will apologize...as it is I have put this coin into the fake reports over at Forum. If you can prove in any way that this coin was minted in bronze and in this style I will be happy to remove it but you might have to convince the people there as they also believe it is a fake.
I am sorry I have to agree with Drusus on this coin being fake (based on what one can see from a picture alone, of course) Q
The coin appears to be a modern fabrication, because the bust is crude and too high in relief (look at the truncation). Furthermore, the beading is over-emphasised, which one would never seen on a Roman coin of this period.
