Herennia Etruscilla Pudicitia Antoninianus
|
FAKE Herennia Etruscilla Antoninianus of
251-252 AD
Rome mint.
Obv: HER ESTRVSCILLA AVG, diademed and draped bust right on crescent (there appears to be the tiny end of a crescent just to the left of the G).
Rev: PVDICITA AVG, Pudicitia seated left, holding sceptre and drawing veil from her face.
RIC 59b, RSC 19; Sear 9495.
Lipanoff studio, Bulgaria.
1. Portrait is too old and ugly for the pretty Herennia Etruscilla
2. The bust should be on a clear crescent extending to the left and right
3. On the reverse, Pudicitia's hand is just in the air, she should be holding her veil and drawing it from her face
4. Same reverse die as another example here on the fakes gallery and e.g. ForgeryNetwork.com no. 7323 and no. 8220.
