<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kSigSteve, post: 2129617, member: 72008&quot;]Evening CTers,</p><p><br /></p><p>First thank all you ancient collectors. I always enjoy reading the informative and historical threads. I have never been disappointed by each of your coins and their stories of acquisition. I myself acquired my first piece. The price was not bad and I myself would spend more on myself for lunch. I wanted to be able to hold a piece of history and also push the limit on the oldest coin I owned. I want to know if I am correct in it&#039;s details so it can be properly labeled in my collection.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]405372[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]405373[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hadrian Alexandria</p><p>117AD-138AD</p><p>10.2 g ( I weighed )</p><p>31mm ( I measured )</p><p>Billon Tetradrachm - I was not sure what this ment. Does it mean it&#039;s a silver alloy?</p><p>Obverse: laureate draped bust</p><p>Reverse: Demeter standing with grain-ears and torch. It has a L in the upper left field. K in the lower left field and A in the lower right field.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help with confirmation is appreciated. Also share any history or links to coins of similarity. I am more than eager to learn at least about this first one so I can accurately speak of it. Lastly thank you for the interest of such coins, it&#039;s because of you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
