Gordian III Caesar
« on: April 06, 2016, 05:29:01 pm »
This coin is (was) being offered as a silver denarius of Gordian III on an popular internet website.

Obverse: M ANT GORDIANVS CAES
Reverse: VENVS

As far as I know, there is only 1 type of denarius of Gordian III as Caesar (PIETAS AVGG / Sacrificial implements) which is cataloged as RIC #1 (Balbinus & Pupienus), and Sear #8577; and this coin is not that type.

I could not find this coin in the Fake Coin Reports. 

Comments welcome.  Thanks.

This is a pretty ridiculous fake.
