Message:: [QUOTE="Kaleun96, post: 8352231, member: 92635"]Great example! You don't often see so much detail still present in Alexander's curls. It looks like the obverse style is a bit different to what you normally see, in particular the lion's ear stands out. Have you found many die matches? Both my obverse and reverse die are quite uncommon, if I recall correctly, none in Troxell or PELLA and only 2 in ACSearch. But the style of my obverse die is quite similar to a lot of other examples, particularly in the "bean" shape of the lion's ear. Thanks! I think I cited that book once when referring to Le Rider's position on the debate but at the time I didn't have a copy to read myself, I just knew he expressed that opinion in that book. I did find a digital copy online (hosted by <a href="http://mc.dlib.nyu.edu/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://mc.dlib.nyu.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://mc.dlib.nyu.edu/</a> so I assume it's a legal copy) when I was putting the finishing touches on the article and from memory it didn't contain anything that I absolutely had to include so I left it out. I think if I were to dedicate more lines to the topic of Alexander's finances and Philip's II coinage I'd probably go back and reference it more. You mention the AV coinage which is another thing I omitted entirely from my article in interests of time and brevity but that would be another interesting area to dig more into in the future.[/QUOTE]
