    These are fun reverses... Some better than others, and some with cross, and others with tau-rho, and a variety of emperors:

    Nice coins.

    Justin Lee's are all struck like normal Roman coins.

    However, Collecting Nut's is cast. While normally that would be cause for concern and sign of a modern fake, I don't believe that that is the case with this coin.

    I believe that it is genuine, and maybe even official despite the sloppy writing.

    This becomes more and more frequent at the very end of the fourth and into the fifth centuries, particularly with AE4s like this, though it is still less common than struck coins.

    This is outlined in Georges Depeyrot's Numismatique antique et médiévale en Occident (2002).
