Key InfoCondemnation
Region/Tribe : --
The fake staters, supposedly a variant of the ‘wild type’ (see ABC 2777-83), are comparatively easy to spot, when you know what to look for. The flan is too dished; some examples have multiple striking cracks; the base of the corn stalk is very faint; and there is a flat letter O floating in front of the horse’s head. Condemned by Chris Rudd and Elizabeth Cottam. http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/Cunobelin-counterfeits/4?&id=1825 Forgery Type: struck
