<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1827026, member: 41863&quot;]I did not know that about all of the coins being made in Alexandria. Quite interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am only very specifically after these coins depicting the lighthouse on the back as that was very apparently modeled after Heracleion (which also goes by the name Thonis). I am a huge collector of sea related coins and mostly stick to ships, but after seeing the form of that lighthouse on this coin I feel i must locate a nice example. I am not much into coins pictured like the one above&#039;s condition, so&nbsp; i am somewhat picky in that area, although I will pay up if the coin is right. Silver is my preference, but it looks like they are recovering quite a bit of gold coins from this site. Thats not to say they all depict the lighthouse, but there should be some examples out there that do have that design as i found the original picture and the one the other user posted in bronze.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I am truly after are identifiable or accepted names of silver or gold coins that are from this period/location and have that lighthouse on it. Which is also a question of if this specific coin even exists that i am after.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the continued help guys![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
