Julia Domna, Augusta 194 - 8 April 217 A.D., Ancient Counterfeit
|Julia| |Domna|, |Julia| |Domna,| |Augusta| |194| |-| |8| |April| |217| |A.D.,| |Ancient| |Counterfeit|, This coin is so close to official style it could easily have passed as official in ancient times. There is some possibility it is official and the copper corrosion could be the result of incomplete mixing of the alloy. A thin line in reverse exergue, however, appears to be the edge of a silver foil, leading us to identify it as far more like to be an ancient plated counterfeit.
