Fake tetradrachm from Syracuse that I bought as a fake for £20. Toned silver in appearence, no obvious seam on the edge, however at 13.4 grammes it is rather light weight. Purportedly made in Birmingham, England in the 1960's (I got it from the guy who made it, he did a number of Greek coins). Regards, Mauseus

Joe Sermarini: Becker made many replicas of Syracuse tets. The flans for his replicas do not have the flan casting sprues that most genuine Syracuse tets have. A casting sprue is usually seen as an indicator of a fake, but for Syracuse tets the sprue created when casting the flan is normally still evident after striking.

"Arethusa is very like the EF priv. coll. one photographed by Max Hirmer in Kraay & Hirmer (may have a different number in the German edition, Franke & Hirmer) Greek Coins, pl. 39, no. 115. On p. 292, no. 115 is cited as Tudeer 65. Stalk of barley in exergue. Allowing for some wear on the specimen from which the cast was taken, this could be the same die pair. Kraay dates it c 412-420"

BMC Sicily 200
AR dekadrachm, Rosa replica of Becker modern counterfeit
reproduction of the famous 19th century German counterfeiter, Carl Becker. The Syracuse Dekadrachma of Kimon dates around 400 BC. (Becker-Hill #26). The obverse shows a portrait of Artemis-Arethusa I. The obverse shows a galloping quadriga driven by charioteer goad, growned by Nike flying right above. This double sided replica was made by Peter Rosa from plaster impressions of the Beckers in the collection of the British Museum in London. This piece is NOT an ancient coin. Each coin is stamped 'COPY' on the reverse or on its rim. Joe Sermarini

esnible noted: This is a cast fake. First, the weight [34 grams] is too low for the coin to be genuine. Second, casts have less detail that struck coins in similar grade. Compare to this genuine example: [url]http://www.coinarchives.com/a/lotviewer.
php?LotID=2860&AucID=6&Lot=109[/url].
Note how your coin has less detail, especially in the crevasses that are not worn.
Third, it looks like there are similar-sized bubbles throughout the coin. Although 'bubbles' can also indicate corrosion, it should be a warning sign if they are evenly distributed throughout the coin.
