<p>[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2760855, member: 83845"]I think most of that just comes down to the individual style and skill of the engraver. Remember that a lot of mints across the Hellenistic Empires were producing these before and after Alexander's death. Some mints might have had contemporary sculptures or paintings to use as models but others may have just had to use thier imagination or model off of other coins. You can see how variations can quickly emerge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
