Valentinia Medallion of 2 Soildi for sale at auction published in bulletin

[Din X]

This coin is currently for sale by a reputable auciton house.

I do not like coin especially the style, which reminds me on the syle of other Bulgarian fakes I own or have seen so far.
I am not familiar with this issue so I can not authenticate this coin!

Is it normal that the same dies were used to mint gold and silver coins at this time for late Roman coins???
I thought that it stopped much earlier that the same dies were used for gold and silver about 200 AD.

"dies were no longer shared between the denominations because aureus dies were always broader and in higher relief than denarius dies"

Here's a real one from Berlin (8,91 g; https://ikmk.smb.museum/object?id=18200865). It's RIC 9 11a, only struck in gold. As you can see from the style, your examples are definitely fake.

I am getting the last 11 missing Slavey replicas (I have some so far unpublished ones) and I have noticed that the coin at auction is actually from Slavey he has still this modern dies used to produce the fake at auction
I will get my die matching copy in silver soon!
I knew that the style was completely modern and that I know the style.
I feel so ashamed that I did not realize immediately that it is a Slavey

I change my opinion without the smallest doubt the coin at auction offered for "Starting Price: 12 000 EUR" is 100% FAKE!!!!

Pictures in this post some of the Slavey coins missing in my collection which will be very soon mine.
In this picture is a die match to the fake at auciton.
