<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 2521770, member: 77226&quot;]Haha, I&#039;ve followed the Tetradrachm threads so I know you&#039;re on the lookout too! I just love them... I think it&#039;s their &quot;chunkyness&quot; and different style that I like. Plus, EGYPT!!! How cool is that? I&#039;ve really been wanting some earlier (Commodus, A Pius, Hadrian) Tetradrachms&nbsp; but there are just so many later and more cost friendly ones I don&#039;t have yet! I&#039;ll get there soon enough!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I snapped a couple quick photos of three of my more recent favorites. I&#039;ll add them here but future coins to threads.</p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Claudius II Billon tetradrachm</b>, Dattari 5413; Milne 4291; Geissen 3047; Curtis 1687; BMC Alexandria p. 303, 2336, aEF, Alexandria, Aug - Sep 270 A.D.; obverse AYT K KΛAY∆IOC CEB, laureate, draped and cuirassedbust right from behind; reverse L - Γ (year 3) across field, eagle right, wreath in beak, palm frond behind.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]537744[/ATTACH] </p><p><b><b>Aurelian </b>EGYPT, Alexandria. </b>270-275 AD.
