Brutus, EID MAR denarius392 viewsBrutus, EID MAR denarius. Another replica of this popular type. Notice the blobs before his forehead and below the cap. There are apparently genuine examples of the type with the same blobs, so it seems this fake coin was cast using a mold made from a genuine coin struck with damaged dies. Not every coin with the blobs is fake.

R beneath the pileus on the reverse, for "Replica" or "Reproduction."Joe SermariniApr 16, 2005

Mark Antony LEG V Denarius376 viewsThe eBay seller noted: "might i add this coin is not a cast copy as some might think it is genuine many thanks biggyg2"

Ah, yes, it is a cast copy, an obvious one.2 commentsApr 13, 2005

Marc Antony and Cleopatra denarius288 viewsThis is probably a replica from a series of Roman Coins reproduction gifted with biscuits (!) in Italy during the 80's. There are lot of different types, but metal doesn't acually looks like silver (as in this specimen), but from time to time these coins are sold on Italian EBay (as this one, sold without any guarantee).
