Modern copy, looks cast.
Here's my latest acquisition from Ancient Imports: [ATTACH] Roman Empire, Rome mint. AE dupondius (26mm, 9.47g). Antonia, struck under Claudius...
Well, I've got a few coins of Trajan: [ATTACH] And here's a denarius of Hadrian from the first year of his reign: [ATTACH]
Looks like you've found the most widely available coin of Genghis (or Chinghiz, to use the currently preferred transliteration), a billon jital of...
Personally, I would keep the first one. But ultimately you have to decide for yourself which coin will make you happier with your collection.
I bought this coin some months ago for $6 unattributed. It is an AE18, and I quickly realized it was a typical Ptolemaic bronze with Zeus on...
And to keep it numismatic, here's proud father Vespasian with his sons Titus and Domitian: [ATTACH]
So sorry for your loss. My own father died in June. He was 81, and the last few months saw a lot of time in hospitals, so it wasn't unexpected,...
The last of my recent purchases that I hadn't posted yet: [ATTACH] Nabataean Kingdom. AE 17. Malichus II and Queen Shaqilath II (40-71 AD)....
:facepalm: Wow. I knew that Romanians tend to be proud of their Roman heritage, but I've never heard that, uh, particular theory before....

Thought I'd share another recent purchase: [ATTACH] Roman Empire. AR denarius (19mm, 2.89g). Trajan (98-117 AD). Obverse: Laureate bust right,...
I don't have a photo of my complete current collection, but here's the 400+ Parthian coins I sold via CNG auction a few months ago: [ATTACH] Yes,...
Well, my gut instinct on looking at the OP coin style was Persis, so Achaemenid satrapy sounds plausible to me. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as...
Thanks for the comments everyone! @Alegandron : I like your coin, but I think you pasted in the wrong description...
Here's one of my latest purchases: [ATTACH] Roman Empire. AR denarius (19mm, 3.06g). Trajan (98-117 AD). Obverse: Laureate and draped bust...
Well, it's _almost_ Parthian, so I guess I approve ;). Nice variant on the reverse type- I don't think I've seen the reverse dashes formed into...
I recently won this well-preserved medieval Islamic coin from one of John Anthony's auctions: [ATTACH] Pishkinids, as vassals of the Ildegizids....
For a barbarous coin, that's not bad at all. The portrait's pretty good, and it's only when you notice the blundered legend, or the fact that...
Modern cast copy, sorry.
