<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1895851, member: 42773&quot;]From those pics, I can&#039;t tell whether the rust-colored parts of the coin are deposits or underlying core. I strongly suspect it&#039;s a fourée, but I can&#039;t say for certain.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, the alloy would not be pewter. Although pewter was used in the ancient world, I don&#039;t know of any instance of any predominantly-tin alloy used for coinage - even counterfeit coinage. A fourée would have a core of bronze with perhaps a certain amount of lead, plated by silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
