<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2524908, member: 38412&quot;]I could find myself that this coin represents Seleucid Emperor Alexander II Zebinas. He was accused of stealing the gold statue of Nike inside the famous temple of Zeus ( one of the seven Wonders). He melted the gold to issue coins. What a story!..</p><p>This silver Tet was struck in Damascus, having enthroned Zeus on reverse who is holding a lotus-tipped sceptre.&nbsp; Wildwinds lists the coin under CSE 846, and Newell LSM 85 or even SNG Israel (Spaer --). There&#039;s a date in exergue SE = 190 that would be 123 BC in our system. My coin differs by the date in exergue having the letter&nbsp; H. Besides it weighs only 15.11 g. instead of 16.6 g. which is listed on Wildwinds. It&#039;s the first time in my efforts to collect coins that I encounter such important Greek Tets almost a month ago. Please try to post your opinions. Thanks..[ATTACH=full]538824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]538825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
