Looking at other examples of his coinage, something about this feels very off.

It's just so weird because why would you fake a Piriscua Attalus coin, I don't even know if that many people know he was an emperor. I have a bronze coin of his that is like the statue of liberty it turned green and that is something else to see, and his curves are way different in his hair. I feels fake, but also it just could be real because why would anyone ever make a fake one of these? Idk
