    I'm about 90% sure I see an Alexander left bust on the obverse (with an obliterated reverse).

    I just wanted to check in with the experts to confirm.

    Thanks!

    Whatever it is, I like it, @hotwheelsearl ! I have a couple of Seleucid Empire bronzes, attributed to the reign of Alexanders —sorry—I’m a bit clueless as to who these great folks are in the scheme of things. I’m reading up on them as we speak!

    As I gaze on these coins in their virtual format, are they not one and the same?​

    Call it Schrodingers coin. It can be anything until proven otherwise, I guess :/

    Looks more like Apollo than Alex.
