<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 7829601, member: 41219&quot;]This guy came in the mail today. It was listed as a &quot;Roman Egypt Tetradrachm&quot; and for $8 I couldn&#039;t say no to checking two boxes. 1) Alexandrian Tet and 2) Nike/Victory.</p><p>Now I&#039;m trying to read the legend on the obverse and I &quot;believe&quot; it is Numerian. The legend is a bit smooshy as a lot of these later billon tets tend to be but I can&#039;t think of any other ruler it could be.</p><p>Could someone either confirm or deny my (in)sanity?</p><p>Thanks for looking!</p><p>Also, feel free to post any coins of the gone-too-soon, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerian" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerian" rel="nofollow">dead-in-his-coach</a>, ruler.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1345147[/ATTACH] </p><p>Numerian</p><p>Potin Tetradrachm of Alexandria</p><p>Year 3 = 284 AD</p><p>Obverse: A K M A NOYMEΡIANOC CEB, laureate draped bust right </p><p>Reverse: ETOYC Γ, Nike walking right, holding wreath and palm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
