Description
Roman Republican Coinage, Lucius Lucretius Trio, Contemporary plated copy of a Denarius, 76 BC, laureate head of Neptune right, trident over shoulder, control mark lii behind, rev. winged Genius on dolphin riding right, 2.70g/12h (Ghey 405, this coin; as Craw. 390/2; as BMCRR 3260; as RSC Lucretia 3). Cracks around the coin where the iron core has come through, crude in design but an interesting piece, about fine £30-£40 --- Provenance: SF 384 Contemporary forgeries made with an iron core would usually not survive being left underground for so long, however this one has due to the nature of it’s finding. Single finds 388-393 were found stuck together, and this coin is almost definitely the reason behind this. The coin has been restored and this is how we discovered the iron deposits around the finds originated from this coin, rather than from the soil itself.
