<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1056127, member: 5739&quot;]<b>Speaking of Tetradrachmai..... Gordianus III</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I recently purchased this Gordian III Tetradrachm, I like the type. I already have the type with just the Eagle standing above &#039;SC&#039; on the reverse, and a beautiful one if I do say so myself. But I always liked the ones with a ram leaping between the legs of the eagle.</p><p>So I picked this one up today, from a well known seller I have dealt with before for a good price. It&#039;s not as high grade as my other Gordian tet, but I find it beautiful, a nice portrait, and the neck and head of the eagle looks great to me on the reverse. I will put up some new photos when I get a chance. Let me know what you guys think, and if anyone has any info to add.</p><p>------------------------------------------------</p><p>First is a photo of my first Gordian Tetradrachm</p><p>With the SC below the eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p>------------------------------------------------</p><p>Antioch, Syria. </p><p>Gordian III AR/Billon Tetradrachm</p><p>10.9 Grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>obv: Laureate bust right, draped and cuirassed, seen from the front.</p><p><br /></p><p>rev: Eagle standing facing, head left, holding wreath in beak. </p><p>Beneath, crescent above ram running left, head reverted.</p><p>------------------------------------------------</p><p><br /></p><p>Does this type have a Greek numeral on the reverse to note the regnal year? I know the reverse title is a bit worn, I can&#039;t tell but it looks like a 4? or maybe a &#039;B&#039; for 2... I can&#039;t tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
