Notice the word
contemporary is blue. It links to the following in
NumisWiki.
The term
contemporary means "at the same time" but is also used as a synonym for "modern." When the term is used regarding
ancient coins or
antiquities it always means at the same time (ancient). The dual meaning is confusing and the term
contemporary should be avoided unless the meaning is clear from the context. The term
contemporary should particularly be avoided if the readers will likely include new collectors.
I suggest if there is any way to avoid the term, it should be avoided. Maybe say it is an "
imitative or
counterfeit, struck at the same time as the original, official
type." licuricicolorat clearly does not understand (and he has quit the discussion).
