bob lembke Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Interesting. I am not much of a medal guy, but I used to collect Roman coins, and in the period say 1500 AD pieces called "fantasy pieces" were made in the style of genuine Roman coins, but often more extravagant in design. They were not attempts to counterfeit genuine Roman coins, but were recognized collectors' items in themselves, made by jewelers. So when I saw the photo, the word "fantasy" popped into my mind, before I read peoples' comments using the word.Bob Lembke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
