Description: | Uncertain - probably either bronze copy of a silver coin of Locris (Central Greece) or bronze issue of Scarpheia (Locris, Central Greece). The latter are however, much smaller. Both date to the 4th century BC. Given this, and the fact that it has a definite appearance of a modern cast forgery about it, it is likely that it is a modern replica or fake.The coin was either found near Roose or was possibly given to the finder with other coins of modern small change.
