<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 4985303, member: 72790&quot;]More likely, PHILIPPOU, genitive singular of Phillip of Macedonia meaning (coin or tetradrachma) of Phillip. These were issued during the reign of King Phillip, father of Alexander the Great. They were issued in large numbers and several Celtic tribes made imitations of them for some 200 years after his death. The coin appears to be well struck and hardly circulated. If it proved to be legit it would be worth more than I could pay for it. I, and most posters, would probably say that this sort of thing, whether it is genuine or not, is not something that can be known for sure just from its image. I would want to know more about the seller, its weight and most importantly what it looks and feels like in hand. For the kind of money this coin would fetch on the market I probably would not purchase it without it&#039;s being certified as authentic. Maybe I am too cautious, but I already have enough coins in my black cabinet (fakes) to add any more additional ones. If it turns out that it is not genuine it may be listed in the Forum Ancient Coin as a known copy. Please let us know what you find out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
