In 2017, Dr. Hubert Lanz created a competition for the 70 year anniversary of Numismatik Lanz and to advertise the importance of their guarantee of authenticity. To win, people had to find a forgery that had been put in the auction catalogue on purpose. The fake had, in fact, been positioned plainly visible as an enlarged image on the back page of the catalogue! It is a modern imitation of an aureus of Diadumenian. Everyone who submitted lot 237 by email received a credit note for 25 euros for the auction! Joe Sermarini

Obverse: Eagle standing left.

Reverse: Crab.

Ref: Randazzo 13

Weight: 16.82g

Size: 26mm

Comments: There seems to be only one obverse die with the claws of the eagle exactly like this one in Ulla Westermark, "The Coinage of Akragas and this is O10.
This is a problem, because the N is recut wrong in the transfer die and so different on the authentic coins!
The wrong recut N only found on the transfer die fakes :(
The surface are unusual and soapy indicating it could be a cast fake.
There are unusual artifacts on the obverse and reverse, and are not found on authentic coins so they must be either die flaws in the transfer dies or casting defects or lumps. The weight is slightly lower than is typically found. There are no remnant/evidence of casting sprues typically found on these coins.
