Original comment (1992): "This coin is almost certainly a forgery; the style (especially of the portrait) is odd, the die axis is wrong and the nominative case unlikely. It has probably been altered from something else. It may perhaps be a copy of an otherwise genuine, though not extant, coin, since one would expect a third denomination (see introduction)." Later update, for its source as a fake with the 18th century faker Osman Bey, see D. Williams, ‘Osman Bey of Constantinople: a late 18th century forger of ancient coins’, RN 176 (2019), pp. 361-83, at 368, no 6 and 374
