<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7962750, member: 86498"]I have kept the same avatar since I joined in 2017 for all the usual cited reasons though inertia is chief among them. That being said, this coin was at the time of purchase (May 2013) the most impressive Greek gold coin that I owned. Another important caveat is that when I actually created my avatar, I actually had a picture of the coin. I cannot see any reason to change it out for another coin. </p><p>Philip III Av Stater Babylon Mint 323-318 BC In the name and types of Alexander III Obv. Helmeted head of Athena right.
