<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2556386, member: 19463&quot;]I prefer to reserve the term fourree for coins that wwere copper in the center and slilver foil wrapped on the outside but not just copies made from low grade metals whether or not they once had a thin silver wash.&nbsp; 4g is too heavy for a genuine silver denarius of Julia Domna (the face I see here) and fourrees should be lighter.&nbsp; I believe this is a cast bronze heavily attacked by corossion and too far gone to really tell if it started as an official but low grade silver, an ancient barbarous product or an outright counterfeit.&nbsp; Sometimes we see things that were good style but the wrong metal which we classify as Limes denarii but I&#039;ll not go so far as to say even that this started as one of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
