My tiny collection...

Fantastic OP coins. And welcome to our forum. You speak English rather well, so there's nothing to be apologetic about.

Here are two related coins to the ones you've posted....

My Galba quinarius



And Galerius

I failed to be clear. I was asking if the horse/Virtus Galba tended to be less fine metal than the average Galba. Certainly Aquilia will be closer to half the silver of the Galba era but I was comparing the Provincial denarii to Rome.

 

"Fantastic OP coins."

I don't understand OP in your sentence.

Thanks Sallent, merci !
Nice Galba !

 

Okay, it was not clear for me
I think that there is no difference.

Here the three coins of GALBA IMPER / VIRTVS that i know to compare.

 

Very nice collection ! And you’re lucky to be able to dig for your coins in your back yard ... je t’envie mon petit cousin français !

Ocat from Montreal Canada

OP, stands for "Original Poster", which is the person that started the thread.

 

Okay, thanks for the precision

 

Hello everyone, I hope you are going well in this particular moment.

I come here to present you my new acquisition, and for once it's a nice little Greek coin.

It's a fifth of the tetradrachm of Antigonos Monophthalmos, struck in Babylon while he was Asian strategos in 315/311, that is to say several years after the death of Alexander the Great.

Only 4 coins (including this one) are currently listed, and it seems that, more or less, all have been struck with the same dies. For the obverse, I'm pretty sure, for the reverse a little less.

Two are in museums: 1 at the BM and another at the ANS:

One was sold during a Triton XVI sale on January 7, 2013:
