    Hi all,

    I recently got this lysimachos Tetradrachm in. I was told it was part of the Ma’aret hoard found in Syria. However a quick google search shows no results with information on this hoard. Is there any source of information you are familiar with that can provide information on this hoard of coins? I posted this coin earlier trying to get some info on it with no luck. Also, please share your coins if you have anything from any ancient hoard. I find this subject very interesting.

    when asking AI it mentions that the ma’aret hoard is actually from Kabul.
    I found that very interesting. Please check out the coin below.

    thanks
    Larry

    It has been verified by an experienced dealer. Funny enough I’m still having a lot of trouble finding any info on this hoard. Only lots of references. Does anyone know of any sources I can read up on?
