Lets see your favorite tetradrachms!

non_cents => yes, that's Philip-II of Macedon

That was my first AR Tet ... I love the big steroid horse

TIF has an amazing example (a bit more classical style than my brute)

... but yes, that would be an awesome first Tet

Here is a CNG-link that'll show you a few hundred examples (I paid $255 US, delivered ... that was probably 5 or 6 years ago)

Athens Owl AR Tet 17.4g 20.4mm x 7.5mm edge-crud

 

I have one celtic tetradrachm. If anyone can help me with identification?

 

I like the design of Celtic coins, but I know so very little about them. The closest I have to your coin is this DACHREITER TYPE, but I think it is different from yours:

REVERSE: Celticized horseman riding left; wheel of four spokes above
Struck by the Skordoski in Syrmia, 2d Century BC

Very nice!

 

Simply awesome!!!

 

The portraits on those are simply outstanding. Very nice coins!

 

Celtic flavored tets are always fun.
