Now it seems the consensus is some are real, but modern copies also exist. I don&#039;t draw attention to active listings unless I think it will save someone the expense of buying a fake coin. The one being listed certainly does look like the Bulgarian copies with a poor patina applied. I have never seen one of these in person, but here is the coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]961622[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]961623[/ATTACH] </p><p>Listed as 22.5mm 7.47g</p><p>The seller even references the <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304025135_Methods_for_Authenticating_Ancient_Bronze_Coins_A_Case_Study_of_Constantine's_Pannonian_Cap_Coin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/304025135_Methods_for_Authenticating_Ancient_Bronze_Coins_A_Case_Study_of_Constantine's_Pannonian_Cap_Coin" rel="nofollow">study</a> made on this type which shows the one he is selling to be very close the the known fakes.
