<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2675045, member: 19463&quot;]The mail came through with exceptional service today dropping off my latest new coin.&nbsp; This is a 24mm 12.88g billon tetradrachm (or bronze if you require enough silver to see) of Herennia Etruscilla, wife of Trajan Decius, from Alexandria.&nbsp; She is represented by four reverse types, all someone standing there.&nbsp; This is Tyche listed by Emmett as #3653 LA = year one (rarity 3).&nbsp; As with most Alexandrian tetradrachms, this is quite thick so I decided to photograph it from an angle showing off part of the edges.&nbsp; Focus was retained by using CombineZ focus stacking software (eight shots per side).&nbsp; The obverse legend abbreviates an extra word of&nbsp; of her name than found on her Roman coins.&nbsp; The Greek version also alters some letters from what might be expected.</p><p>h<b>ER</b>ennia <b>KOUP</b>ressenia <b> AITROVCKILLA CEbacta</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]596464[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>I would love to see any Alexandria coins of any of Decius&#039; family that you might have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
