Syracuse Tudeer 41 - fake signature

[Neko B]

This is the first time I have seen something like this : a fake signature of Eukleidas. A beautiful coin unfortunately ruined...




There seems to be an EY signature on the ampyx but this is not found in the standard literature (Tudeer / Fischer-Bossert, Rizzo, Evans...). What do you think ?

I think the signature is a clever forgery.

[Molinari]

The signature certainly doesn’t look natural.  But was it tooled into an authentic coin?  That would be a real tragedy.

I have seen it before, though not this blantant.
