The style looks good, but I&#039;d want to know the weight of the coin before I bought it to make sure it&#039;s not a fourrée.</p><p><br /></p><p>A fourrée is an ancient counterfeit coin meant to pass as the real thing. It has a bronze or copper core that is covered by a thin layer of silver. Since bronze and copper are less dense than silver, a fourrée will weight a little less than a legitimate denarius.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
