Reference for Roman Provincial!
« on: March 09, 2021, 02:33:45 pm »

AE  33mm     28.00g.

I will be very grateful if someone can provide me a reference for this provincial of Gordian.

Thank you in advance for your help and time.

Probably this one from Ephesos: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/7.1/404

It has an overall softness that may indicate this is a modern cast.

Certainly a modern fake.
I was offered handfuls of these at the site of Ephesus the last time I was there.
I actually bought one for fun, after about 45 minutes of them nagging me and me
haggling the price down to something reasonable (€5), as I own an original.
They had various metals, a few base-metals and even a silvery coloured one, and
different qualities as well. Its as if they copied the copies, and so on ad infinitum!
Plenty more where that came from!
