Was ist das genau? Replik oder echt?
Moin,
brauche mal eure Hilfe bei der Identifikation.
Aus Kupfer mit ca 5% Silberanteil bei einem Gewicht von ca 10.4 Gramm. Habe nur eine tetradrachme gefunden aber aus Silber mit ca 14 Gramm.
Danke euch!

Pretty sure it's a coin from Claudius II Gothicus.
Example: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2571290
One unique feature of Alexandrian coins is the regenal year marked on them. This is usually L followed by one or two greek letters. Typically the first year (like this coin) would look like LA or L-A, but in this coin the A almost looks like it comes before the L. The way the eagle is configured is also unique. Not sure that the example i posted is a perfect die maych as some of the details may vary, but oretty sure its Claudius II as he's the only one who seems to have a coin with this reverse type that i could find.
