[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4949764, member: 110226"]I took a couple of snaps of my Trajan tetradrachm from Tyre, with the Tyche reverse, purchased in June 2019. This example weighs 14.3 grams and it has quite an oblong flan (27.5 mm at the widest point). [ATTACH=full]1189739[/ATTACH] The date for this coin is 103-111 AD. It does show some flan stress or flaws on the obverse, on Trajan's bust. Could this be another debased coin? Also, compare the dies with the first coin that I posted. The dies used for the first example are noticeably smaller, as if they were designed for a tridrachm or even a didrachm. To make the comparison easier, here is the first coin posted.
