<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8284258, member: 86498"]The drachm shown by [USER=110226]@robinjojo[/USER] appears to be an example of Price 1936 a coin minted in Magnesia ad Maeandrum. Price gives a date of 323-319 BC. I would think it might be somewhat later. I see no obvious issues with the coin though I am reluctant to make a declaration of authenticity based on a photo. I like these drachms they are interesting and important. This is one of mine. (a very late issue)</p><p>Kassander Ar Drachm In the names and types of Alexander III. Unknown mint in Greece? Obv.
