Claudius466 viewsOne-sided Claudius I repro.
Obverse: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG PM TR P IMP P P, bare head L.
Reverse: flat field with CLAVDIO IMPERATORE 10 aC. 54 d.C.
28mm, 5.4g.
commodus noted: One of a late 20th century series of Italian tokens depicting facsimile obverses of coins of each Roman emperor and other Roman rulers and relations. The reverse of the token gives the name of the emperor/ruler in modern Italian (in this case CLAVDIO IMPERATORE = "Claudius, Emperor") and dates: dC = "dopo Christo" ("after Christ") and aC = "avanti Christo" ("before Christ"). The dates given on the token in question are for Claudius's full lifetime. moonmoth

The face is too flattering for Claudius, who had a pronounced Adam's apple and a different shaped nose.
The letters were "engraved" using the same punches as most of the other fakes from this batch, offered to an auction house in England together with a number of other modern, struck fakes, in Sept/Oct 2014.helvetica
