jugate Carausius, Diocletian and Maximianus

This is a pretty poor fake currently for sale on eBay, probably not surprising it is from Bulgaria

from the listing--

"this is a very rare coin to bid only people who know what is a very rare coin
 
the price is US $ 4.500.00 if not reached will not send

please do not mock coin of the rare

guarantee 100% authentic

not send in Bulgaria

photos are not good Live is much more beautiful"


The real examples of this coin have what has to be one of the best obverses of LRB's
