Contemporary counterfeit is generally the term used. Fake is for the modern junk.
You'll get a genuine gold one at some point.

Hardly anything money wise, more of a interesting find, even the Gold type don't fetch mega bucks, unless one of the rarer type of the tribe.birdman said:Would that be more rare then a real one? Pretty awesome if you ask me?? It seems like it would be worth some nice $$.

I don't think these were intended to be passed of as the real thing, more of a cheaper way of spreading the Gold out, to make more coins.CRUSADER said:Silver Searcher said:Hardly anything money wise, more of a interesting find, even the Gold type don't fetch mega bucks, unless one of the rarer type of the tribe.birdman said:Would that be more rare then a real one?

True, rarer but much less value than the real deal. (although more interesting, as discussed)

Perhaps in the early Times (Pre Roman) I would agree, but I personally think that the debasement came about after the Roman conquest, when coins became used as a way of perchasing, rather than offerings, it might even have been the Romans that introduced them to debasing, Silver and Gold. After all the Celts copied outher aspects of Roman culture.CRUSADER said:Silver Searcher said:I don't think these were intended to be passed of as the real thing, more of a cheaper way of spreading the Gold out, to make more coins.CRUSADER said:Silver Searcher said:Hardly anything money wise, more of a interesting find, even the Gold type don't fetch mega bucks, unless one of the rarer type of the tribe.birdman said:Would that be more rare then a real one?

I some what agree, but in a non-monetory society where money was only used as sacrife or political persuasion, why bother. The bigger the sacrifice the better, no-one would wont to cheat the Gods, they may notice.
