    1/1000 drachm? I think this is a kilodrachm.

    I'll bite. Someone wanted this for something. What? I could see a decoration for a coin shop but Faustus combined with a quadriga makes no sense. Anyone?

    That is how they paid off their debt! The Senatas enacted a law to make this material 17 bllion x gold value; and POOF 17 trillion Sesertii debt paid off with one MONGO denarius! :)

    Made out of some copper coated plastic? Maybe from the 50's-60's?
