<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3988841, member: 38412&quot;]This newly-acquired coin surprised me in many ways. First the reverse looks silver, whereas the obverse shows clear bronze or red copper, especially on the whole neck pf the Emperor. I rubbed harshly there, but the color remained.&nbsp; Second, the coin is small in size(23 mm) compared to its weight which is 12.74 g. So it&#039;s thick and probably it&#039;s a Tetradrachm. The Emperor himself seems easy to identify, but I hesitated between Septimius Severus and Caracalla.&nbsp; The legend is in Greek on obverse, while there&#039;s no apparent legend on reverse which reveals an eagle standing on a thunderbolt. Please post a comment if you have.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1050237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1050239[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
