Hi folks, wondering if anyone knows of any fakes of the above. I've got this in my collection and I'm suspicious of it! Weight is just shy of 10g and the diameter is about 33mm +/-1mm.
Heres some pictures...
Any information is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

According to it's weight it should be an as not sestertius. Unfortunately I think it's fake. It's shape, surface, details all seem off to me but I could be wrong. I hope to hear from other members too.
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

Hello,

It is indeed a copy, replica, forgery... whatever it is, but it's sadly not a genuine coin of Hadrian.
