I'm afraid that I really do not have any denarii of Nerva and the Antonine Dynasty. Over the years I have concentrated on other denominations...
Here's an Æ Trichalkon from the Thessalian League, that depicts Athena Itonia, advancing right with a raised shield on its side. This coin came...
That's a beautiful late Renaissance gold coin. Here's another "Roman" look of a scudo from the same period: Kingdom of the Two Sicilies,...
Here's a coin that arrived today. It has a decent portrait of the old boy, and pretty well centered as well for this type. Syria: Seleukia,...
I've posted this coin before, but I thought it's worth another go. Arabia, Northwest, Lihyan AE "tetradrachm" 2nd-1st centuries BC 7.4 grams Rare...
I just finished photographing another tetradrachm. This is an Eastern imitation of a 5th century BC tetradrachm of Athens. I purchased this coin...

Hot off the presses, here's a photo of a tetradrachm of Phillip III, purchased from CNG many years ago. Macedonian Kings Circa 323-317 BC AR...
My mistake. I guess I need new glasses.
That's a beautiful coin. Yes, I see a distinct difference in portrait style, lifetime versus posthumous. What mint is this coin from? Thanks
