Infant Hercules
« on: December 04, 2017, 12:50:19 pm »
Hello again, this coin was collected in 80s. I am not sure about the metal. It is not high carat gold. It is 23mm and weights 8.5 grams. I think it is fake but feels like struck. What do you think?
P.S I did not add last item to fake coins because I dont own it-thought it wont be ethical for owner.

Notice the A in the circle on the bottom of the reverse--modern maker's mark.  Probably made for use in jewelry.
