<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3719309, member: 44357&quot;]It&#039;s a popular but fairly common type, especially in recent years (there have been many gold octodrachms on the market as of late). There have been ~200 sold publicly in the last handful of years, usually in decent condition so it isn&#039;t a type that one needs to rush out and buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a tetradrachm of the type at half the weight which can flesh out a set if you&#039;re looking to collect a Ptolemaic typeset. Some are prohibitively expensive/rare but the basic set can be completed relatively easily (Ptolemy I Soter pentadrachm, Arsinoe II Philadelphus, Ptolemy II Philadelphus [octodrachm + tetradrachm] Ptolemy III Euergetes, with bonus points for Berenike or any other denominations).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
