<p>[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4143694, member: 110226"]I have a tetradrachm with the same mark or symbol running from the middle of the cheek to the ear. In fact, the die is identical. The reverse die is very similar to your coin, as well. This mark has clearly been engraved in the die. It is not the right shape for a die chip, and it is very linear with a slight left curve at the top. I have been doing some research on imitative tetradrachms patterned along the lines of the classical and intermediate designs. I think both of our coins could actual have originated in the Levant, possibly Philistia. The mark could be an Aramaic Pe. This is just a guess. There's much still to be learned about the imitative tetradrachms, to be sure.
