[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 6602075, member: 110226"]Here's one that sold at Triton XXII, Lot: 386, with a $75,000 estimate, for a fair amount of pocket change, $325,000 to be precise (not including buyer's fee, of course). Circa 425-400 BC 17.10 grams [ATTACH=full]1266359[/ATTACH] I was mistaken regarding the Gaza attribution. Actually the tetradrachm above and the drachm below are attributed to Philistia, a larger geographic area comprising Palestine. Here's the drachm from the same auction, lot 387, which hammered for $32,500 on a $20,000 estimate. Circa 425-400 BC 3.96 grams [ATTACH=full]1266375[/ATTACH] Edit: I found one more super rare Philistia tetradrachm, this time offered through Heritage. It seems not to have sold at auction: [URL]https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/greek/ancients-philistia-gaza-5th-4th-centuries-bc-ar-shekel-or-tetradrachm-23mm-1736-g-12h-ngc-choice-xfand-9733-4-5-4-5/a/3075-32034.s[/URL][/QUOTE]
