<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 8194566, member: 110226&quot;]This coin arrived yesterday.&nbsp; It is an Alexander III tetradrachm from Akko, or Acre, Phoenicia, circa 312 BC.&nbsp; The weight is 15.67 grams, not Attic standard for sure, but much more in keeping with the Rhodian standard.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin, typically crude, has an interesting counterstamp on the obverse.&nbsp; It appears to be one or two standing figures, arms extended.&nbsp; On the reverse there is a blob of horn silver that apparently is holding a part of another coin in place.&nbsp; At first I thought the blob was a die chip, but now an apparent design can be seen.&nbsp; Is there a face?&nbsp; Could there be a crown that would suggest Tyche?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1435266[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any akkolades for this coin?&nbsp; What do you see?&nbsp; Am I having another 60&#039;s flashback?&nbsp; Far out, man.....</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
