<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iamtiberius, post: 2205093, member: 37707&quot;]A beautiful new addition of mine; probably the best looking Macedonian Drachm in my collection, to date. I particularly (and with many of my coins) appreciate the light toning in the valleys. You&#039;ll notice a bronze hue with this particular piece. The photo was taken in direct sunlight at 13:00 in the afternoon. I typically don&#039;t get such results without an overcast, but in this case, was pleasantly surprised.</p><p><br /></p><p>The auction house described the critter in the left field as a mouse. I clearly see a rabbit, but maybe there&#039;s a big eared species in the Macedonian region I don&#039;t know about. What do you guys think, mouse or rabbit? In either event, it&#039;s a coin that Steve can appreciate.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]430021[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Antigonos I Monophthalmos. </b>As Strategos of Asia, 320-306/5 BC, or king, 306/5-301 BC.
