[QUOTE="Rupes, post: 24561633, member: 146834"]Thank you [USER=118540]@sand[/USER]. I'm a bit confused about the positioning of the light source in your initial post! I thought the coin marking was similar to those in this link (I filtered to find). Similar to the 2090 mentioned by [USER=107246]@ancient times[/USER] above. That's how I hypothesised a Miletus mint (seems the marking might be something like a capital eta Η with a small capital delta Δ above) : [URL='https://numismatics.org/pella/results?q=statedAuthority_facet%3A%22Alexander+III+of+Macedon%22+AND+authority_facet%3A%22Alexander+III+of+Macedon%22+AND+deity_facet%3A%22Zeus%22+AND+%28denomination_facet%3A%22Decadrachm%22+OR+denomination_facet%3A%22Didrachm%22+OR+denomination_facet%3A%22Drachma%22%29+AND+mint_facet%3A%22Miletus%22']https://numismatics.org/pella/results?q=statedAuthority_facet:"Alexander+III+of+Macedon"+AND+authority_facet:"Alexander+III+of+Macedon"+AND+deity_facet:"Zeus"+AND+(denomination_facet:"Decadrachm"+OR+denomination_facet:"Didrachm"+OR+denomination_facet:"Drachma")+AND+mint_facet:"Miletus"[/URL] But now rather than finding out the mint, it seems I first need to find out whether or not it is fake!
