identification of suspected fake coin
« on: December 06, 2022, 08:55:43 pm »
sirs:
Cheers.
I am kindly asking for advice in helping identifying this old roman coin which I suspect is a fake.
An old friend of mine gave it to me years ago after he visited Ephesus in Turkey and apparently bought it from a local resident at the ruins.

If it is indeed a fake please feel free to add it to the collection of images you have in your files of fake coins.

Thanks for the assistance.

As you suspected, it is a tourist fake.
