<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2613548, member: 83956&quot;]My university has been given a modest collection of 31 Roman and Biblical coins. A student and I are collaborating on a project to catalog them properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>The image below is of a Vespasian denarius. At first glance I thought it was clearly a fourrée, especially since the bronze core seems to be peeking through the bottom left of the obverse. However, the brown stuff on the emperor’s cheek and hair seems to be protruding <i>out</i> from the coin, or lying on top of it. I thought a fourrée would only have bronze visible “inside” the coin, so to speak.</p><p><br /></p><p>My long-winded preface to simple question: can a fourrée look like this? The coin weighs 2.96 g.[ATTACH=full]572213[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
