<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4535319, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks for the explanation.&nbsp; I guess I&#039;ll have to make my own judgments! Here&#039;s yet another term, used in RPC VIII Online for a coin (a Philip II tetradrachm from Syria) that looks silver to me in the photo -- as does my own example of the coin -- but which RPC describes as &quot;debased silver,&quot; rather than calling it either AR on the one hand, or billon on the other: <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/29020" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/29020" rel="nofollow">https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/29020</a>. I&#039;m not sure what distinction they mean to convey by calling it debased silver rather than billon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
