<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 3039725, member: 38412"]This bronze coin of Alexander The Great was struck in Lampsakus between 310 and 301 BC. It weighs 4.1 g. Reverse shows Zeus seated, and there's the forepart of Pegasus on the lower part of left reverse. The coin is much better at hand. Among references, Price 1385 ; SNG Cop 886 ; Mueller 607 . But they all describe this coin as a silver drachm. Would mine, as a bronze, be considered as a variety or an off-metal strike, if such things exist in ancient coins ? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]758563[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]758564[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
