I have no idea what this is supposed to be. It does not resemble any real coin type.
This one is particularly terrible. Those faces are awful.
The
reverse is also an invented non-existent
type. No such shape of prow has ever been
engraved by a
Roman engraver, and no anonymous (no symbol)
Republican As exists with a flat-topped prow and the
denomination mark before the prow. It is a
complete invention.
On another list someone shared pictures of four other recent bronzes (we all know which
German firm these objects come from). Two were essentially genuine - limited cleaning, perhaps some minor strengthening, but not so awful, and in near VF condition. Two were charactertures like this -
complete inventions and no longer
Roman coins, and totally worthless. All four sold at about the same
price (100 to 150 euros or so).
This tells me that
(a) ignorant collectors are being dreadfully deceived when they bid for these objects. They don't realise that some are carved lumps of bronzes and others are coins. They can't tell the difference
(b)
wise collectors have an opportunity to
still find some real coins between the cracks, but they need to look very carefully for signs of tooling
(c) if you are not sure whether you are a
wise or ignorant collector then you should not be bidding
Oddly, this is a
good basis for behaviour for
eBay in general.
