Notes:
A very interesting ancient counterfeit. The style is excellent and exotic but not official. The reverse legend is a mirror image of the original. Found in the Middle East judging by the nice desert patina. More interesting, we have another specimen from the same dies (#9079), which was found in the Middle East as well.
