    I assume it is based on the toning and condition, but I haven't so far managed to confirm it came from that hoard.

    Yes, this Summer I brought back some of Croatia's biggest numismatic treasures back home. :):cool:

    Another interesting thing about the coin is that Tarsos is the first city where Alexander the Great's Gold Staters were minted.

    Oh wow, yes, indeed that looks wonderful in the video. I’d like to shoot short videos of all my coins, but that is a daunting project to take on. Still, I suppose I could focus on the more lustrous and/or colorful ones first- the ones that would really benefit the most from the videos.
