Help identifying first coin
« on: August 12, 2018, 03:01:33 pm »
Hello all! This is my first time posting here, and this is the first coin I have bought. I know that it depicts Aurelian on one side and Sol on the other, but I dont know much else about it. Anyone here care to fill me in?

You have to have more than one posts before you can upload a photo (this due to several first post porn spam incidents).

Ah, ok. Is it ok to post this here? I just wasn't entirely sure this wasn't a fake.

I don't see any reason to suspect it is fake.  You can find similar coins (but not identical) in the Forum shop.  Use search, change the option from available to all to see sold coins too. Search for Aurelian with reverse legend ORIENS AVG.
