29 viewsC. 470-440 BC
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.

Abdera (thrace), AR Tetradrachm, ca 450 B.C.588 viewsObv:- Griffin seated left with right forepaw raised
Rev:- City's name around quadripartitie square; all within an incuse square.
A very free adaptation of May's Group III. The obverse should have a symbol to the left of the Griffin though the serious mistake is the ethnic on the reverse. Abdera never displayed the city name in the way it was done at Akanthos from where this reverse was clearly copied. On coins from Abdera we find magistrates' names instead.
Part of a group of counterfeits that appeared in the catalog of an American specialist in US coins..The coins were all struck from modern dies.

Aeolis, Kyme69 viewsPublished fake from IBSCC Bulletin on Counterfeits Volume 5 No 12 1980 page 8, figure 1.
No explanation is provided but appears to be a transfer die fake as both dies matches the (authentic) dies of Oakley 58.
Aeolis, Kyme; AR Tetradrachm; Silver; circa 165-140 BC; Obverse: Head of the Amazon Kyme right, wearing taenia; Reverse: Horse walking right, skyphos (one-handled cup) below, KYMAIΩN left, ΣEYΘHΣ (magistrate) in exergue, all within laurel-wreath.
From BOC report: Copies from the Cilicia hoard (1975-76), from Beirut. Struck peterpil19

Aeolis, Kyme186 viewsIdentified by Din X as a modern forgery, struck likely from transfer dies. The dies match Oakley 58.
Signs which condemn it include artificial toning and coin is too flat.
Aeolis, Kyme; AR Tetradrachm; Silver; circa 165-140 BC; Obverse: Head of the Amazon Kyme right, wearing taenia; Reverse: Horse walking right, skyphos (one-handled cup) below, KYMAIΩN left, ΣEYΘHΣ (magistrate) in exergue, all within laurel-wreath.
J Sermarini: The style seems off. Oakley 58 is probably not ancient and the dies are modern rather than transfer dies. peterpil19
