<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3197656, member: 97383"]Earlier this I sold two Phoenician tetradrachms struck at the mint of Tyre, under the authority of Emperor Caracalla, c. 213-217 CE, see photos below. The coin on the left side is a profile view of Caracalla seen from behind, Prieur #1546A, 12.09 gm., & the coin on the right side is a profile view seen from the front, Prieur #1549 13.23 gm. The reverses on both, coins although struck from different dies, are amazingly similar & look like they could have been made by the same celator. The eagles, their size & layout, & the lettering look like they were done by the same hand. Despite the portraits being different they do share style similarities, & again the lettering style, size & layout look like they were done by the same hand. Any thoughts ?[ATTACH=full]826908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]826909[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
