[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 4599202, member: 95174"]My first steps into a new collection . The Coins of Seleucid Empire. I descided to start with tetradrachms. I chose this time period because of the beautiful portatis. In fact I have chosen that for the main critera of this collection. My Alexander the great has a Very attractive obverse but the reverse is a bit worn. It was issues By Seleucis I Nikator. 312-280 BC VF/aF [ATTACH=full]1139082[/ATTACH] 26mm 16.805gm My second coin Antichos VIII Epiphanes (Grypos) 121-97BC I was really taken by his portrait. [ATTACH=full]1139083[/ATTACH] 29mm 16.29 gm This is also a new adventure in photography for silver coins, these were done in low light, I will need to experiment a bit more to get them perfect. [U]If you have Greek Silver with great portaits please feel free to share them[/U][/QUOTE]
