Ancient Gold Coins of the Past

Ancient gold can be costly, although a few issues  (notably those of the Byzantine Empire) are very fairly priced.  We were granted the gold award for best old coin related commercialised internet site by the Numismatic cyberspace Awards and are both proud and honored to be given such an accolade.  Most uncleaned coins offered for sale will have been gone over with a metallic sensor to winnow-out the gold and silver ones.  In most cases the “coins” found are complete fantasies (Alexander The Great or Athenian tetradrachms in bronze or gold, for instance), or are hapless cast replicates of actual items.  Sometimes a genuine but common coin is used as a flan (to create a rarer type), but more often a flan is cast using modern silver (or gold) alloys.
