Constantius Roman Gold Medal REPLICA - Solid Gold 21g

Zoins

Does anyone have any info on the background of this replica medal? It looks pretty interesting. Here's the description:

<< <i>Fantastic style, almost like the original, comes from an old collection. 35mm diameter, and 21gramms of gold. If this coin would be original, it would sell half a million dollars.

This is a REPLICA coin! Not original! Probably middle 20.century work, nice piece of art. >>





Note: I'm not selling this nor do I have any financial interest in this piece. I just think it looks neat.

Never seen that before. Portrait looks more like Licinius. Medallic Art Co. of N.Y. did some odd stuff back in the '60's. Not sure but still cool for what it is.

Don't forget the Bulgarians. They were big on using old techniques to strike modern repros, some of them very good....I bought a miliarense repro of late 4th C. type for about 20 dollars or so about ten years ago that has nice cabinet toning...

Anyway, that price is just way too big for that coin at 21.0 gms. 1800 or so seems a lot more fair to me...
