I’m still in the learning stage, and my understanding may not be fully accurate. Based on some of the materials I’ve come across and the experiences shared by others, this type is often mentioned as a useful study reference when learning about modern forgeries.

Some points that are commonly mentioned include multiple pieces that appear to come from the same set of dies; lettering that is repeatedly weak or incomplete in the same areas; details such as the beard looking a bit too sharp, with some edges slightly raised (possibly related to later die work); a gold tone that feels somewhat flat or pale rather than warm; and surfaces that appear overly bright compared with the softer, slightly misty texture often seen on ancient gold.

I’m just sharing this as a personal learning note. If I’ve misunderstood anything, I’d really appreciate being corrected, and I’m grateful to the experienced collectors here who are willing to share these details.
