[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4624054, member: 110226"]Thanks for the suggestions and observations. This coin does not match any mother coins that I know of. It seems to be a very crude approximation of the Gaza tetradrachm from the Heritage auction, posted at the beginning of this thread. I would think a modern coin would be much better in appearance, like the Bulgarian fake tetradrachms, but it is possible that someone decided to make something that looks old and crude. Unless I have the coin tested as you suggest, this issue of contemporary fake versus modern fake won't be resolved. I'm now thinking it is modern in origin.[/QUOTE]
