<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 4868398, member: 104741&quot;]Thanks for the feedback on the Babylon question.</p><p>[USER=77226]@Orange Julius[/USER], that thread came to my mind as well while I was writing my post<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>Great coin that, and a spectacular story!&nbsp; I was (and still am) hoping that a lifetime Babylon tet would be a possible &#039;poor man&#039;s version&#039; of that coin. I&#039;ll probably never know for sure, but the idea is far from unlikely. Hope springs eternally...</p><p>[USER=99412]@PeteB[/USER], good point, thanks. Although it wasn&#039;t really the origins of the Persian bullion I was after (that would be impossible to find out). I guess I was hoping something was known about where and when the bullion from the treasury was put to use. No doubt a lot of it went striking coins in the Babylon mint, so I can still speculate and hope... And I&#039;d sure like to get my hands on one of those Demetrius&#039; coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
