[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8297156, member: 110226"]Funny that this thread appears when it did. I was going to post this Alexandrian tetradrachm later. It's another local coin shop acquisition from a little over a week ago. This year 13 (66/67 AD) tetradrachm of Nero, featuring Tiberius on the reverse, is not long on legends, and it is somewhat rough, as would be expected with billon, but the portraits are nice. I wonder if this was I coin that I sold all those years ago; it does look familiar, but my mind plays tricks on me. 12.54 grams [ATTACH=full]1467343[/ATTACH] Also, here are a couple of tetradrachms from Antioch. Nero and Claudius. 14.40 grams [ATTACH=full]1467344[/ATTACH] And last one of his numerous issues from Antioch, this one with a very long, thick Claudius-like neck! It seems that the flan was made in an oval-like shape to accommodate the obverse die. 13.4 grams [ATTACH=full]1467349[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
