Crispus MONETA VRBIS VESTRAE from Rome

[Victor]

This is a rare medallion that sold not long ago for $275 on eBay. The reverse shows the three Monetae, who represent the types of metals used to make coins- bronze, silver and gold.

I noticed this coin, but it looks suspicious.

I'm always a bit suspicious of any rare coin on eBay, but I think the appearance is just due to poor photography/ lighting. The seller is not known for selling fakes and I could not find any fake examples of this medallion.
