Key InfoCondemnation

"There are no such reverses for Diocletian listed in RIC, at Antioch (the mint for the other two coins) or elsewhere. Note the absence of the mint-mark and the valuation mark (? = 70 to the pound), which means it cannot be an unpublished specimen from Antioch (since the dies are the same), since all of Antioch's aurei had such marks at this time." The obverse die is from an authentic coin from Diocletian from Antioch mint, but the reverse is from another authentic or fake coin from another mint. Authentic coin with same obverse but with the correct reverse can be seen here: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=262233 Forgery Type: pressed
