[QUOTE="Multatuli, post: 2822551, member: 89266"]Excellent point by Doug Smith! Since the silver contents on coins were too low or even absent on 3th-4th centuries, there was no point to forging coins by fourrée method, so people falsified them in clay molds. Very curiously, these molds are most often found today in Scotland and Wales. And specially, Constatine and Diocletian's follis coins (or others tetrarchy period coins). So, that's true: the top coin in my opinion is really ancient, but I must agree that it can be, despite the bad conditions or a possible corrosion, an ancient fake...cool...!![/QUOTE]
