[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 3951843, member: 41219"]Today is a nice sunny day so I have been trying to take some better pictures of my coins. This one has my favorite Victory (Nike in this case) reverse. I only have 3 coins from Egypt including this. A Licinius II and a Constans. I really like the Ptolemaic coins and would like to eventually add one to my collection. Unfortunately, the obverse legend on this coin is all but obliterated. But it still has a nice portrait. The one question I do have about this coin is on the reverse. It has what looks to be a star above the "L" in the left field but all the examples I can find only have the star in the right field. What do you think it is? Am I wrong? Maximianus Tetradrachm of Alexandria. Obverse: Legend unreadable, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right Reverse: Nike walking right, holding palm branch and wreath, L-Γ across fields [ATTACH=full]1041226[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking! Post your favorite Victory/Nikes, Maximianus, Egyptian coins, or whatever you want![/QUOTE]
