<p>[QUOTE=&quot;romismatist, post: 26266770, member: 44106&quot;]Typically the reverse motif was one on Alexander&#039;s bronze coins; I am not aware of any silver coins like this. I agree with [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] that the style seems off; the closest coin I could find on Wildwinds is a fake: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/macedonia/kings/alexander_III/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/macedonia/kings/alexander_III/t.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/macedonia/kings/alexander_III/t.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1677932[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not aware of any 1/6 staters of Alexander, but this is not my collecting area. You may want to check the diameter and weight with those on Wildwinds or better yet, ACSearch. That should give you an indication of what your coin is closest to. All of the drachms and tetradrachms I am aware of have Zeus seated left on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fakes have been around for millennia, so just because it was from the late &#039;70s or &#039;80s doesn&#039;t automatically make it genuine. Tourist fakes have been floating around for decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
