    I like your style. It's hard not to notice something so round with great details (I'm talkin' about the coin :devil:)

    This is a coin from Pautalia in Thrace. Looks more like a lighted altar than a lighthouse.

    This is a Seleukid coin, not from Alexandreia.

    Thank you Arda. I was always iffy about that ID. I just assumed all eagles of that type were Alexandria. :desk:
