Note:

Imitations of Roman coins, particularly gold, began in India around the Severan period. Most types predate Constantine and 5th century, or later, types are quite rare. Turner cites most coins with the dual hole as being imitations, almost unfailingly found in India. The dual hole on ancient coins is almost a secure sign of Indian use/circulation.
