Every now and again I manage to add another coin to my Greek collection. This one arrived today. I am pretty sure I didn't actually NEED another ATG tet but couldn't stop myself... Alexander the Great, silver tetradrachm, Mesembria Obv:- Head of Herakles right, wearing Nemean lion-scalp headdress Rev:- ΑΛΕΞΑΝ∆ΡΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, Zeus seated left, right leg drawn back, eagle in extended right, long scepter vertical behind in left, Corinthian helmet right over ΠΑ monogram in inner left field under arm; Minted in Mesembria c. 275 - 225 B.C. References:- Karayotov p. 80 and pl. VII, 41 (O7/R18); Price 992; Müller 436 17.000g, 31.6mm, 180o Martin
Wellllll, since you don't "NEED" another, you can just send it my way. Free, of course. Very nice coin. I'd say better than gVF. I love the detail, especially the helmet.
