<p>[QUOTE="TheRed, post: 3152467, member: 87080"]The style of the obverse bust of Alexander can often be used as a clue, but as [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] suggested it will require comparing lots and lots of photos. I would recommend starting with coins of Pella and Amphipolis, his main Macedonian mints, and going on from there to cities like Tarsos and Arados. I am fairly certain the coin isn't from Babylon or the Egyptian mints. When control marks are all but worn away there is very little else to go on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
