In 2017, Dr. Hubert Lanz created a competition for the 70 year anniversary of Numismatik Lanz and to advertise the importance of their guarantee of authenticity. To win, people had to find a forgery that had been put in the auction catalogue on purpose. The fake had, in fact, been positioned plainly visible as an enlarged image on the back page of the catalogue! It is a modern imitation of an aureus of Diadumenian. Everyone who submitted lot 237 by email received a credit note for 25 euros for the auction! Joe Sermarini

Submitted by Maridvnvm
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 CARACALLA IMPERATORE = "Caracalla, Emperor") and dates: dC = "dopo Christo" ("after Christ") and aC = "avanti Christo" ("before Christ"). The dates given on the token in question are for Caracalla's full lifetime. maridvnvm
