<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2383769, member: 72818&quot;]I went after these two Tetradrachms for the most basic of reasons: They both greatly appealed to me, especially at the low retail price I was able to obtain them. Both are &#039;BILLON&#039; Tets, yet exhibit little of the rough surfaces common for the type and the toning, especially on Phil I, was more than I could resist. Not to mention they nicely complement my only other examples---one&nbsp; Antoninianus of each ruler.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post any coin type you may have or any other Tet you may wish to share. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Philip I, Billon Tetradrachm, Antioch Mint, 244-249 AD</p><p>Cuirassed, radiate bust left</p><p>Eagle standing right, wreath in beak</p><p>Prieur 354; 14.33 grams[ATTACH=full]488885[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]488886[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Philip II, Billon Tetradrachm, Antioch Mint, 247-249 AD</p><p>Laureated bust right</p><p>Eagle standing left with open wings, wreath in beak</p><p>Prieur 473; 12.62 grams</p><p>[ATTACH=full]488887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]488888[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
