[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 6439193, member: 41219"]Oof, Here goes nothing......literally since I have no solid thoughts on whose coin this may be. [ATTACH=full]1254969[/ATTACH] That being said, I will go out on a limb and make a guess as to who owns this beautiful masterpiece. That guess goes to.....@Parthicus. Reason? Because I said so. :) Also, I know that he happens to deal almost exclusively with Persian, Indo Greek, and other coins of the Near East. I did some post sleuthing and went back through almost 6 whole pages (before something shiny caught my eye) of his posts and saw nary a post of anything Greek. Since he is clearly a man of exquisite taste, I can't see him passing up such a beautiful coin. Also, since Egypt was controlled by the Persians several different types in the BCs, I can see him making an exception for this coin. There you have it folks. The mystery is solved. [ATTACH=full]1254973[/ATTACH] For a coin, I present to you this little Alexander III that FFIVN and I bought at a local show. Poor guy is not nearly as handsome as OP coin. He seems to have come down with a bit of flesh eating zombification disease. Either way, he still holds a place of honor in our collection. Alexander III AE 17 325-310 AD Macedonian mint Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lionskin reverse: Club above bowcase. BA in centre with thunderbolt between the letters.
