This is part of a a series of coin reproductions distributed by the Swiss pharmaceutical firm Sandoz in the 1960's and 70's as presents to physicians. All these coins have images that refer to medicine (the silphium, a medical plant, Hadrian as with Salus and snake, Serdica bronze with Aesculapius etc.). Someone may removed the SANDOZ and sell these as authentic coins!
