I would appreciate some help from someone with access to the referenced book(s). The coin below is apparently listed in SC: SC 202.10c, Ekbatana mint. My questions are: Does that reference refer to the source of the coin as The Qazvin Hoard #30? Is there a photo of the coin included? Alexander III, the Great; 336-323 B.C. AR tetradrachm (27mm; 17.04 gm; 6h). Struck after 311 B.C. under Seleukos I, Nikator. 312-281 BC. Obv: Hd. of Herakles, r. wearing lion’s skin. Rev: ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ and "A" to right. Zeus std. l. on throne holding eagle in r. hand, scepter in his l. To left, forepart of horse grazing, anchor above. Monogram below throne. Price 3925. Qazvin Hoard 30, this coin? Like ESM 470, but with “A” in r. field. C 202.10c, Ekbatana mint. Thanks in advance.
Also, I wonder why it says the anchor is “flukes up”, when that is not the case....I think? What am I missing? Thank you!
Entry is for a hoard Qazvin IGCH 1796 Your coin is referenced from a collection in Maryland. Looks like I have a typo. Should be horizontal left.
Yes, that was me. I lived in Annapolis for 14 years. I have had this coin since the early 1970s time frame. Thank you very much for your assistance!
That is a beautiful tetradrachm @PeteB I've always had a soft spot for the Ekbatana mint, it produced wonderful coins under Seleukos I.
