<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 7374173, member: 26302&quot;]Dude, that coin is so fake as to be laughable. If you cannot tell that, I seriously encourage you to ask us here where to buy coins. That &quot;item&quot; is in no way close to what it should look like, and this from a person not horribly familiar with Menander gold coinage, I have seen many though and know the silver well. I could go through a list of other tipoffs why its fake other than the design, but the design looks like an 8 year old copied it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: OP, sorry if this was too harsh. For the heroic bust coins of Menander, the artistry is always much higher. I see the coin on Vatican.com, and states its located in Thailand. That is a strong clue. They are not found, nor never circulated in Thailand. I have a pretty exceptional ancient/medieval Thai coin collection and know what coins circulated there. All of the ancient gold on that website is also fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ancient gold was the most important coinage, so always had the best celators creating them. Here is a silver tetradrachm, a much less important coin, and you can see the artistry:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284624[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
