Unknown Coin (roman)
« on: May 04, 2023, 03:43:12 pm »
My mother said got this from an old lady in Rome, I am not sure about the authenticity.
I believe it's silver, or some alloy not magnetic.

Who was the "old lady in Rome"?
The weight is much too low for a stater. To me it looks cast.

I believe it can be a cast, I am not sure but I feel the details are not that great feels a little soapy by comparison with the pictures I see online.
The old lady passed away, my mother said the she (the old lady) found the coin while she was in the country side.

Sólo con ver el anverso, la moneda tira para atrás, más mala que pegar a un padre.
