this one is definetly a
fake...
I bought a similar one 15 years back from a small
shop in Baalbek
eventhough I knew from the begining that it was a touristic
fake...
I bought it out of curiosity hoping that it was a (copy) from a real genuine one...
for the sake of doing some architectural and historical comparision...
though the Temple of
Jupiter -the largest temple in the empire- and the temple of
Bacchus both were amazing....
going back to the coin itself...
I remember the distribution of its orange
Patina looked suspicious ...
the over all texture was too soft to be true with its amount of details ...
with no indication of wear and tear and years of stress ...and most important
its
cross section or thickness was also a
good indicator for me...
maybe I'll post a picture of it ....later
Regards...
