My first purchase of this year and one of my bucket list coins. I've always wanted a life time tetradrachm of Alexander the Great ever since I got a life time drachm of him back in 2020, and I only got the means to look for one recently. After searching up lots of online shops (I'm still not comfortable with auctions), I finally came across this one. I really like that this coin is also a Babylonian issue! Alexander the Great Ar Tetradrachm, lifetime issue. 17.02g, 325 - 323 BC Babylon mint, M below monogram under throne. Price 3601? And here are both Drachm and Tetradrachm together! However I couldn't find the specific Price number to properly attribute it, although I found a similar one that's grouped as Price 3601, yet other coins in that group has the M slightly to the left of the monogram). This coin's from the Price website (M is obscured by the red gunk). Please share your Alexanders!
