Can't figure this one out. Tried a couple of hours on the 'net today, no luck in identifying it. It's from another MD'er in FL. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

here you go its not exact but close http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-2843636/stock-photo-an-ancient-roman-coin-with-pietas-head.html

it does look like a old roman coin to me though of some sort


EDIT: I didnt see the spot on the coin that said specimen. Maybe it is a replica roman coin??

Looks like aluminum, can you tell what its made of? It seems pretty obvious its a modern replica. I don't know how much you could learn about a replica, unless there are sources that explain something of them that I don't know about.

I would say the fact alone that it says "specimen" on it is proof enough that its a copy. Cool find either way. -Marc
