PK in exe
Fig 29a is the false coin - 4.52g
Fig 29b is genuine from Paris - 5.32g
Fig 29c is genuine from a private collection - 5.36g
This coin is part of what IAPN/BOC coined as the British Museum Forgers (BMF) production. These are coins based on electrotypes of coins from the British Museum (BM) that have been used to create new dies that have been enhanced in various ways. These coins are considered dangerous counterfeits and caused a lot of embarrassment amongst dealers in the mid-late 1980s when they made it through onto the market.
Whilst being dangerous they all share certain characteristics:-
a) the relief on the coin type is much more rounded and fuller than on the original coin and is often higher
b) many of the coins show no sign of any real wear but lack sharpness giving the impression of being weakly struck
c) the coin is known in an example from the same dies in the BM collection
d) the coin differs in very small ways and these changes are areas of either wear or damage on the BM coin
e) the area of join between the coin type and the flan is never really sharp
f) on gold coins the fields tend to be perfectly flat with some wavyness or convexity on the reverse. The surfaces are so perfect they look like melted chocolate
g) the pattern of wear makes no sense with very clear details on areas which are higher in relief than more flat or worn ones
It would appear that the Paris coin was the model but there are several mistakes.

IBSCC Bulletin on Counterfeits BOCS Vol 20 No.1 1995 Page 28.
From pseudo hoard from Jordan "and there is only one pair of dies for each emperor".
But these are possibly still transfer die fakes and the usage of "modern dies" in bulletin missleading.
They have very smooth soapy details and a flat surface and no metal flow.
