Particularly the Greek gods and goddesses, so to find that a popular and beautiful coin was the tetradrachm with Hercules on the obverse and Zeus on the reverse I fell in love. Spent some time looking for a coin and locked in on this one due to the wonderful profile of Alexander/Hercules (the detail of his eye is awesome!) And the detailed reverse of Zeus. Overall well centered with most all the details still intact. </p><p><br /></p><p>Price P169, minted in Sidon shortly after Alexander&#039;s death. ANACs has it slabbed as 322-321 BC, Price states 321-320 BC. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wasn&#039;t too concerned on getting a lifetime, and found the history surrounding this coin equally interesting. After getting this I&#039;m sure a lifetime issue will follow, and I&#039;d love to own a Philip II tetradrachm as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
