[vanoldschool]

had to update this post, what I have found is a greek copy, found in in Everett, wa on the beach This Gela tetradrachm copy was produced as an advertisement for a book on Ancient Greece and was sent to thousands of addresses glued to a paper ad. Now Who thought it would be funny to toss this in the beach?? I have read that these are very old any inputs??

Lots on ancient reproductions floating around, but it is very possible to find an authentic one. (of course having been lost in modern times)
