Herennia Etruscilla Pudicitia Antoninianus55 viewsFAKE 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.

Herennia Etruscilla, Aureus99 viewsObv:- HER ESTRVSCILLA AVG, diademed & draped bust right on crescent
Rev:- PVDICITA AVG, Pudicitia seated left holding scepter & drawing veil from her face.
Fig 1 is the false coin - 5.26g
Fig 2 is genuine - ex Leu 22, 1979, 335 and Jameson II 240

Struck from modern does with yellow gold and generally have a banged-up appearance as if they had been in a mount. The reverse field of the new aureus is concave instead of being almost flat.

Ref:- RIC 59b, RSC 19

When comparing the fake (on the top) to an original below (ex Jameson 240 and du Chastel 530) it can be seen that the relief is too high, the empress' hair has been misunderstood and that Pudicitia raises he right hand to her face instead of holding her veil.

Modern Bulgarian manufacture.
