[QUOTE="slynop, post: 4515498, member: 95036"]Hello everyone, I hope you are going well in this particular moment. I come here to present you my new acquisition, and for once it's a nice little Greek coin. It's a fifth of the tetradrachm of Antigonos Monophthalmos, struck in Babylon while he was Asian strategos in 315/311, that is to say several years after the death of Alexander the Great. Only 4 coins (including this one) are currently listed, and it seems that, more or less, all have been struck with the same dies. For the obverse, I'm pretty sure, for the reverse a little less. Two are in museums: 1 at the BM and another at the ANS: [URL]http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.3727[/URL] One was sold during a Triton XVI sale on January 7, 2013: [URL]https://www.flickr.com/photos/antiquitiesproject/8232118481/[/URL] On acsearch, only one present, that of the sale of CNG. And the one I present to you: Diameter: 15mm Weight: 3.35 gr. Reference: Price 3727 Have a nice day [ATTACH=full]1118850[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
