I'm trying to figure out where this coin is from, or if it's a fake that I traded in my dime for. Of course, fake or not, it's kick-butt.
sorry to say but its a replica "Widow's Mites - Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan), 103 - 76 B.C., prutah or lepton Bronze prutah or lepton, Hendin 469 - 472, Jerusalem mint, 95 - 76 B.C.; obverse BASILEWS ALEXANDROU, anchor upside-down; reverse star surrounded by diadem Modern replicas sometimes sold as genuine" you can find real ones at pretty decent prices online though (like at vcoins.com or forumancientcoins.com) heres a picsof a group of replicas, which appear to be from the same dieas yours
Wow, thank you! It's a shame that it's a replica but the entire symbol has been bothering me. How do I search for something like that? lol. Thanks!
