Help If Possible

Hi everyone,

I have had the coin for sometime now and only wondered what it was. I know it is roman but wondered if it was worth anything and roughly how old it was.

This is the nearest picture I could find that fits the coin I have but on the bottom figure it has three letters that I cant really read. They are stamped to the top of the coin and to the right.

The letters are something like:

M.P.A

If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Rich,

A borrowed picture of a similar coin is never usually good when trying to ID another Roman coin because there can be subtle differences in type and of course no 2 ancient coins are exactly the same. There are also lots and lots of Roman forgeries about, some of which are pretty good.

Can you post a picture of the actual coin?

Thanks for the reply Chris,

At present I have no means of posting a picture of the exact coin. I will try to do that at some point.

Ok this is the best I could come up with as they are scanned pics they may not be that perfect.

It's a reproduction sold as a novelty in Roman Villas and the like...it's less than 20 years old, no where near 2000!

The little 'WRL' stands for Westair Reproductions Ltd.

That's exactly why any picture of the actual item in question is always prefered.
