    While only it is a middle rage coin in terms of price and condition, I really liked this Alexandria tetradrachm. Maximinus was one of the earlier of the completely bronze appearing tetradrachms from Alexandria but it was a nice, chunky (12.28g) coin with pretty eagle. At year 4, it should be one of his last coins. I did not know that I was trying to accumulate Alexandrian coins as a specialty but I seem to find them appealing.
