<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 24559426, member: 44106&quot;]Here&#039;s an obvious fake from the rather rare Magna Grecian city of Hyria/Orra in Calabria. I was able to later remove the verdigris (these are the seller&#039;s original pictures but I suck at photography so will post these anyway). </p><p><br /></p><p>From the style this coin already looks very dodgy (mushy portrait etc), but I was curious and bought it anyway. When it arrived, it was clearly a fake, as the diameter was 2X that of a genuine coin. Still, it is enough of a curiosity that I kept it. I have never seen another like it, and am keen to learn more about its background and how it came about. Unfortunately, I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll get many answers, and it will remain an interesting enigma in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1555676[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1555677[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
