Brutal! If it was a tet, maybe due to the pleasing portrait. But for a drachm that is just bonkers. And that thing is polished! To keep it legit. Here's my favorite, off centered, ATG drachm (under $50) and authentic: I recommend watching auction houses for this type, if it's your jam. They are so plentiful that you can find something that floats your boat (don't buy it at that first auction, unless green grows out of your ears), watch out for the type you like most at several auctions and pounce on the sleeper coins. You have to be patient or wealthy to build a decent collection of these. And again, once you get into those tets it's REALLY hard to go back to purchasing the Drachms
Here are many from some reliable auction houses: https://www.biddr.com/search?s=Alexander+drachm Ps, I was drinking Stoli but have moved on to absinthe since the fights are starting
