[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 2554341, member: 15445"]I really like the appearance of the coin in your photo. The surface & tone reflect an overall "look" that I personally enjoy. I saw a great Alexander tet in a book a few years back. The image has stuck in the back of my mind for years but I have yet to find one in a dealer's case. It was minted in Rhodes and it had a big old rose monogram. Here is my lifetime example. The monogram is a "snake in a bowl". [ATTACH=full]549395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]549396[/ATTACH] Edit to add: I've never noticed Zeus on a chair without a back. :) (I guess you would not call it a chair). I assume you have found this type of throne/stool listed in some references and it's real. Is the stool type really rare or will I find an example if I just keep my eyes open for it?[/QUOTE]
