Imitation of a Tetradrachm struck between the 2nd and 1st century before Jesus-Christ, reference: LT.2986 - S.79. Weight information from https://www.cgbfr.com/, quote about their commentary about this coin: ''Cette monnaie étrangement patinée est un faux, sans doute XIXe, réalisé en étain à partir d’un exemplaire authentique... ces monnaies fleurirent en même temps que le procédé de la galvanoplastie et de nombreux faux avec un aspect authentique et une patine de collection ancienne sont proposés sur le marché sans que leur nature exacte soit indiquée....''. Traduction: This oddly patinated coin is a fake, probably from nineteenth century, made of pewter from an authentic copy ... these coins flourished at the same time as the process of electroplating and many fake with an authentic look and a patina collection old are offered on the market without their exact nature being indicated ....
