The coin consists of a copper-alloy core with a silver wash on top (now largely disintegrated). It has been well-executed on the reverse and bears a strong resemblance to the genuine coin. The obverse is heavily worn and corroded. It measures 17.7mm diameter by 1.8mm thick and weighs 2.53g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 192
