<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1371843, member: 5739&quot;]Ah yes, of course.... Antinous right? Very interesting story.</p><p>----------------------------</p><p>Thanks for the info and help everyone, more than I expected, I really appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>SO my coin is a Drachm? The one listed for sale in the link says that that particular one is 34mm, mine is more like 28-29mm..... did they even strike &#039;half Drachm&#039; bronzes of this type back then? I know very little about provincial bronzes, I tended to focus most of my Ancient Provincial collecting on Silver Drachmai and Tetradrachmai. I got a really good price on this one so I went for it..... I normally don&#039;t talk about what I paid or ask others what they paid et cetera.... but in this case I will make an exception.... I paid $25 USD for this coin.... no shipping cost or anything, just $25 straight up. DO you guys think that is a good deal? Did I do good? Looking at the price of the coin linked to by <b>Ardatirion</b>, and it looks like I did okay, of course that coin is in MUCH MUCH better shape and condition, so hard to compare or judge or try to put a price on my example.... I do like the very dark brown patina, and the condition isn&#039;t too bad at all.</p><p>--------------</p><p><b>dougsmit</b> : That info about the numeral 16 on the reverse top is very interesting, shame that it is worn off of mine, but very interesting stuff.... I love learning facts like that about certain coins, thanks for sharing mate!</p><p>--------------</p><p>**************</p><p>Okay, now there are some differences between mine and that one linked to of Nilus.... mine doesn&#039;t seem to have the crocodile... in fact it appears Nilus is resting his elbow (down where the crocodile head should be on the linked example) on a Sphinx or something... I also do not see the branch to the far far right side of the coin&#039;s reverse, like on the one in the link.... and the upper arm that holds the cornucopiae in the link looks a bit different than on mine... Most of these could just be from the wear, however the lack of the crocodile and the elbow resting on what looks like a Sphinx make me wonder..... Anyone care to comment?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
