<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2885433, member: 19463&quot;]The only coin from Friday&#039;s show that I have not shared is about as unimpressive as they come from the popular Alexandrian series.&nbsp; I bought it because I did not have a coin of the denomination (dichalkon) making it my smallest Alexandrian coin.&nbsp; The reverse is off center but even that fault still allows the date LIA to be on flan.&nbsp; Surfaces could be better - a lot better - but that is not unusual for these so I&#039;ll keep this until an upgrade is available to me at a price I can tolerate. </p><p><br /></p><p>The holder for the coin specified the bird on the reverse was a flamingo but the seller asked if I thought there were ostriches in Egypt.&nbsp; Owners of a book on Alexandrian coins, students of Egyptian culture and bird lovers might prefer we call it an ibis.&nbsp; The portrait is similarly unidentified.&nbsp; There never was an obverse legend but the face is Domitian.&nbsp; I hope to do a better photo someday but this is not an impressive coin.
