    Hi.
    I recently acquired two Greek Silver coins at auction IMG_2449.JPG IMG_2450.JPG . I managed to identify the Alexander 111 Tetradrachm, but cannot pinpoint whether the Drachm is Antiochus 111 or 1V. His Diadem has a point at the front and back. My usual preference is Silver Hammered but these were the only two coins in the auction, so not many bidders.

    Antiochos IV from unattributed Easter mint.
    No available image of your coin but very close to this one. There is one spike on yours to identify it as a radiate.

    Hi David
    Many thanks for the info. There is a spike at the front of the Diadem but does not show up too well in the photo.
