<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 7875177, member: 91461&quot;]As most can tell that know me, I buy coins that jump out at me (&quot;speaks to me&quot; just makes it sound like you are a clockwork orange), historical figures, unique/funny rarities and for artistry.</p><p>A few things jumped out at me on this one: First, the core coming through makes for a very gnarly look of either Herakles with a really bad sun tan or like a man breaking free from imprisonment, ala Hans Solo:</p><p><img src="https://hips.hearstapps.com/digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/16/32/1471078086-han-solo-carbonite.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As well, Zeus with legs open means there is a chance it is a lifetime issue!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my new (to me) fouree drachm in the name of ATG. But is it?</p><p><br /></p><p>The fact that it is a fouree and the AΛEΞANΔPOY is kinda missing the POY (like calling him Alex instead of Alexander) makes me wonder if it is a contemporary imitation. Searching ACsearch I am unable to find any drachms of the like with the dolphin/fish(?) diving down and the ΛY under Zeus&#039;s butt (no throne, he is just master of the squats!). Does anyone have a coin of the like or know who, where and when this coin is from?</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin came with the simple description of:</p><p>MACEDONIAN KINGDOM. Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC). AR Drachm.</p><p>Weight: 3.5 gr</p><p>Diameter: 17 mm</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1357217[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]Z3w5gVM_4y8[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help identifying this coin, other ATGs or coins in the name of, fourees, thoughts, laughs et al are appreciated<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
