Hi,
Sadly I cannot agree with your conclusion that this is not an imitation.
The
style of the
bust is competent, but curious, and the lettering that remains just not right. What really betrays the coin for me is the crude
reverse, in particular the
style of the lettering and circular
border that is of a
style that I have never seen on a legitimate Gallic Empire piece.
Sorry,
Mauseus
