Nothing, since no coins were noted down in BC.
What makes it fake is the date, the BC part.Because if the coin was really made in 55 BC, then Jesus Christ wasn't born yet. Then how could they say that they made it 55 years before Christ was born when they didn't know when he was going to be born?
It is important to verify the authenticity of the coins and the dating method used by the archaeologist. Gold coins from 46 BC could be historically significant and valuable, but further research and expert assessment would be needed to confirm their origin and age.
It's highly unlikely that a gold coin would be marked with the year "40 BC" as this dating system wasn't used during that time period. The archeologist may have been mistaken, misinformed, or indulging in a joke. Alternatively, it could be a misinterpretation or a forgery.
The body of Tollund Man was dated to around the 4th century BC and was buried in a peat bog in Denmark. He was found in 1950, remarkably well-preserved due to the unique conditions of the bog.
Archimedes was born in 287 BC and died in 212 BC, making him 75 years old when he died.
nothing because nobody knew it was b.c. someone is playing a trick on you
It means it's a fake!!!! How would anyone who lived before the birth of Jesus know how many years it would be till He was born? And how could they have spoken English to use the abbreviation "BC" (before Christ) on a coin?
No. The concept of BC (Before Christ) as used in dates, only became relevant after the birth of Christ.
If the coin is dated "4 BC" it's a big-time fake. "BC" means "Before Christ" so no one would have known beforehand about Jesus to date a coin based on his birth.

Absolutely not, they did not know 87 years in advance that Christ was going to be born.
A forgery. No coin could be marked 55 BC, no one knew that the key event that the modern calendar was based on was going to happen before it actually happened.
You only need to about it for a second, not even a minute! "BC" means "before Christ". Unless the coinmaker was (a) also a great religious figure who knew exactly when Jesus was going to be born 3 generations in the future and (b) spoke English so he knew what "BC" meant, he would have dated the coin based whatever calendar was in use at that time. One word: FAKE, FAKE, FAKE.

Any coin with a "BC" date on it is a counterfeit. The common western calendar with dates expressed as "AD" and "BC" didn't come into use until many hundreds of years after Jesus was born.
Any coins with "BC" in the date are FAKE, FAKE. If you think about it for a minute, (A) How would any normal mortal know that Jesus was destined to be born some 30 years in the future? (B) How would someone from over 2000 years ago know the English abbreviation "BC" when English didn't develop as a language until the Middle Ages? (C) How could it be dated with modern numerals that weren't invented until the early Renaissance period?
Please take another look at your coin. The date can't be correct for at least 4 reasons:The use of BC and AD didn't happen till hundreds of years later.ANY coin with "BC" on it is a fake because before Christ was born no one knew it was "BC"."BC" is an English abbreviation and English didn't even start forming until the 1100s.
