Julia Domna copper core denarius?
« on: August 06, 2017, 05:03:34 pm »
Hi,
First post so go easy on me... ;D

Managed to find this coin today whilst metal detecting, it appears to be copper cored, however I am struggling to match the Reverse design or the legend...It seems to read PONT REX C S?

any help appreciated +++

It would appear that it has the RIC IV Geta 36 Reverse

Interesting, since that is a rare reverse type on Geta's denarii.

But normally it's an owl in the hand of Minerva not a duck! It's a joke? Very interested indeed!

The style looks unofficial, which is fits for a copper cored fourree ancient counterfeit.
