<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 6273337, member: 19463"]While the coin is quite nice on its own, the fact that it drove you to such an in depth study is even better. I might add that this particular coin is available with more than one variation.

The obverse, Greek legends are the same. The reverse legends seem to match around the sides but I do not know the reading of the exergue of the drachm. The monograms (mintmarks?) of my two coins match but differ from other examples on this page. The AE has an A in right field (denomination? One unit?). I do not know what fraction of the drachm this AE unit represents. Anyone?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1248424[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
