<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2311854, member: 42773"]Also, Tyrian shekels and 1/2 shekels were minted of very fine silver. Silver does not corrode like the OP coin as it's less reactive than bronze. Your coin is cast of some base metal that has corroded, or it was artificially distressed to make it look ancient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
