No one denies that they exist. In bronze or brass like the one in Wien.

'The obverse shows two lovers in a bed, beneath which we see a little boy and a jug of wine. The reverse shows wreaths of leaves and of dots surrounding the figure XIII.

It seems that in the early first century AD the Roman mint had other duties besides striking coins. They seem also to have produced coin-like objects, among them, at least until about AD 50, brass corn-coins. These show their value (I to XVI) on one, and a bushel on the other side, and were used to ensure a smooth distribution of free corn. Others show the same values on the reverse, but the somewhat explicit picture on the obverse shows that they were entrance-coins to a brothel. The Coin Collection in Vienna houses one of the most important collections of these delicate and extreemly rare pieces. '

I can understand that you don't want to believe you have a replica.
Ask the people in Wien, at worst pay for registered shipping to have them examine it in hand.
But a local coin dealer specializing in ancient coins should be enough.

as you konw the brass is a mixture between zinc and copper when you increase the amount
of zinc more than 50 per cent so you will have white brass (brass definition).when the first layer
will be moved the rest will be copper color.in my coin ther is white color and some spot copper
color.you are right maybe i have to send to vienna .

Hey, “Dr” Nawfal where is the location of the “dark cave” that you find this one?
 the copper cleopatra coin was in the same pot in the dark cave?
