Uncertain, early to mid 2nd century BC. Denarius (Bronze, 18 mm, 3.01 g, 12 h), a brockage minting error of a contemporary plated imitation. Irregular mint. Head of Roma to right, wearing winged helmet; behind, X (mark of value). Rev. Incuse of obverse. A very interesting brockage error of a contemporary plated imitation. Plating entirely missing, otherwise, very fine.


This is an especially interesting piece: a brockage minting error on a contemporary plated imitation that has lost its silver plating completely - an unusual curiosity on several levels.
