I don't know. I guess I'm not up on my bovine types. I've always thought of oxen as animals of burden, hauling barges and wagons back in the...
These coins were certainly the big thunkers of their time. I remember, back in 1969, when I was with my parents at the Flea Market in Rome, I saw...
Beautiful coin. It is curious why the early Republican Romans cast such large bronze coins.
Actually the thickness is closer to 5 mm.
Small change....
I'm sorry. I forgot to include that information. This coin is approximately 62 mm at the widest point, about 57 mm average diameter, and...
Anatomically, I think that's a bull. An ox would have shorter horns and have a heftier build. At least that's the appearance.
Throughout the better part of my life I have always been attracted to ideas of what constitutes the ideas of beauty, that which appeals to the...
Another interesting note about your coin is that the reverse served as the prototype of the seated Britannia design used on modern British coins....
That's a beautiful coin! Yes, the Attica tets, Byzantine gold and the Lysimachos tetradrachm were reasonably prices, mostly because the shop...

That's a very nice example. Here's another recent arrival. This coin, too, is from Egypt, very similar to yours. This coin seems to have...
Yes, I am certain that this coin originated in Egypt or the region (I'd put my money on Egypt). Have you looked at the current Roma Numismatics...
Thank you. I do have a weakness for this type. It seems that as I get older, I'm attracted to more esoteric coins.
I've done business with this sell from Spain in the past, through eBay, most back in the days that I was collecting Spanish cobs and colonial...
No, not for now.
Nope, 100% natural colors, from Morocco. I've been collecting agates and other minerals since 1966. Dyed agates are of one color, sometimes...
Beautiful reverse!
I paid a premium for this coin, but it was worth the cost. This is one of the nicer imitation tetradrachms that I have seen in a while - good...
