Hello
I made a recent post regarding ID of another coin with the same batch. I am fairly confident this coin is a cast fake for the reasons below:
-i am unable to find a reverse with the same design as this
-appearence of what I believe are casting bubbles, notably on the diadem of the portrait and throughout the reverse
-patina seems unaturally uniform
-circular hole on the coin - remnant from the casting process?
I have attached pictures. Unfortunately, no scale available for weight. More coins on a separate posts shortly.
Thank you,
Harry
