    Ya, fortunately I'm not on sabbatical from collecting, so I am going to be photographing all my stuff and getting new coins.

    I'll try to post my new acquisitions.:)

    Thanks! If you like this coin, you'll probably also like my Agathokles tetradrachm and Alexander the Great stater, both of which have similar motifs but different execution.

    Excellent post--coin and the story behind it. The coin itself is a museum piece--very well captured!

    Absolutely gorgeous coin, AJ, and great history, too. Mine is an earlier style:
