large fake? ANTIOXOY NIKATOP

(1/2) > >>

magnusrw:
Yet another from my recent Afghan purchases. Let me know if you need measurements. This one is very large, perhaps two inches in diameter.

magnusrw:
And the reverse

AlexB:
Hi

Im sorry to say that this looks like a tourist offerring rather than the Tetradrachm its supposed to be!

Howard Cole:
I have to agree with Alex again.  This is another fake.  It should be made out of silver.  I can't even make out what is on the back of this one.

Loukianos:
Could be a reproduction of a Bactrian tetradrachm, Agathocles commemorative coinage in the name of Antiochus II. On the reverse, Zeus striding left, naked, hurling thunderbolt, aegis on left arm, eagle with outstreched wings at feet. But the legend ANTIOCOU NIKATOROS should be on the obverse...
