Republic Anonymous30 viewsCoins Roman Republic Anonymous, triens (14, 47g), approximate 211-210 BC, Sicily? Av: helmeted Minerva Head to the right, behind four value marbles. Rev: Prora to the right, over it "ROMA" and ear of corn, beneath four value marbles.

Transfer die vs fake made with it.

Die flaw was transfered to fake!
The flan shape of the host was transfered into transfer die and can be seen as a"ghost line" on the fake.
Pink arrow, shows a line, which is not a die flaw (not sharp enough), so it is either a die break which was in the authentic dies and so transfered on all authentic coin made with it at this die state or it is a flan or edge crack of the host coin.
