[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 631965, member: 9204"]Its an ancient counterfeit, struck in India sometime during the first century. This specimen appears to be a die match to your coin: [IMG]http://coinsforever.com/pictures%20for%20sid%20web/gdsi-065.jpg[/IMG] (Note the reverse legend: PONTIK MAXIM) A very interesting coin that I, at least, would be happy to own. But if you're looking for a "Tribute penny," then you'd best try again. One last thing: this isn't really a "Tribute penny." Mark had a tendency to Latinize all denominations for his audience. In the east, Roman silver denarii would not have circulated much at this time. A drachm of some sort is a much more likely candidate.[/QUOTE]
