<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinprinces, post: 4254674, member: 85912&quot;]Last year I picked this coin from a large container of Roman coins from a trader on a Roman market. It was organized because of the commemoration of a Roman temple (the temple of Empel, in the vicinity of &#039;s Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands).</p><p>Most of the coins in this tank were authentic, but too worn out for me to be interesting except this one. It is so beautiful that I immediately suspected it had to be false. But for a few euros, I bought it anyway.</p><p>However, I have now found images of this kind of coins, and they are very similar to my coin. I still suspect that my coin has been counterfeited, but that has been done very well.</p><p>So worry about that, if counterfeiters are so good.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1085086[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1085087[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures and information&nbsp; below from the internet.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1085088[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1085089[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><b>AE follis - RIC VI, 349a</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Constantine I &quot;the Great&quot; AD 306-337</b> , AE follis.
