<p>[QUOTE=&quot;I_v_a_n, post: 2558357, member: 81539&quot;]Greatest congratulations to you, AncientJoe! Superb, key-position coin. I have had in my hands two examples of this &quot;Alexanders the Great featured portrait&quot; coins. One was the same with tripod from Colophon, and another one was with the bee at reverce, I am not shure if it&#039;s Magnesia or something else. If we&#039;ll seeing only at images of this two coins, we can say that they are the same or almost the same. They are very close. But you can believe me, if you&#039;ll have both in hands, you&#039;ll see they are not the same obverce die. Colophon portrait have a big size, another one smallest. I think there was one source or etalon - sculpture, or image and etc., and two great talent celators in far distance mints have made very close copies of one etalon. IMHO.</p><p>Here is my modest Phillip II stater.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]551002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551003[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
