Drachm, didrachm, and tets and other denominations welcome ptolemaic, macedonian and seleucid welcome no obols, no bronze, no parthian, no coins of the roman empire. And go
haha I just said that cause idk I felt like mine looks so much different like it didn't belong. but mines from like 200AD and is billon im pretty sure, maybe the earlier ones are better.
No worries, I was just making a joke. Here's a tetradrachm of Seleukos I Nikator (305-281 BC), in the name of Alexander and struck at Babylon: And a drachm of Ariobarzanes I of Cappadocia (95-63 BC):
Drachm set in silver bezel, and set in gold bezel Demetrios II Nikator. Second reign, 130-125 BC. Minted in Tyre.
I really like group photos, because it allows me to see, the relative sizes of the coins. @iameatingjam That's a nice collection of the drachm family of coins. My favorite obverses are the front facing drachm, and the shield drachm. My favorite reverses are the rose, the winged horse, and the owl. @Parthicus That's a nice looking Alexander The Great posthumous tet. It looks like it has very high relief. Here are group photos, of my drachm family of coins. I have one drachm, and one tetradrachm. Both are Alexander The Great posthumous coins. 1. Alexander III The Great Drachm. Price 2733. Posthumous issue. Minted from 323 BC to 280 BC by an uncertain mint in western Asia Minor. Weight = 4.16 grams. 2. Alexander III The Great Tetradrachm. Price 1163. Posthumous issue. Minted from 280 BC to 200 BC in Odessus, which is now called "Varna" in Bulgaria, on the western coast of the Black Sea. Weight = 16.74 grams.
Thank you sir! I love the rev on your drachm. I'm not sure what exactly it is, the detail and relief maybe. thanks for sharing.
