[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2481077, member: 44140"]Why scouring the bottom, I was amazed what floated to the bottom. Once a ridiculously expensive coin in any condition, seems relatively prevalent right now. This coin is not without its problems, it does have some delamination and the interior is completely crystalline. (CAREFUL!) The fields are nice, bright and sharp and the planchet huuuge and impressive. I would also like to quote [USER=37707]@iamtiberius[/USER], "I'm sure he's important and did things; but for the time being, I don't care. I'm just enjoying myself, staring at it for several minutes at a time." Well said, my friend. Central Asia / Hindu Kush Afghanistan, Balkh Greco-Bactrian Kingdom Eukratides I AR Tetradrachm (BC 171-145) 35 mm x 16.36 grams (Attic Standard) Obverse: Diademed and draped bust right, wearing crested helmet adorned with bull's horn and ear. Reverse:The Dioskouroi on horses rearing right, holding palm fronds and lances; monogram to lower right. HNP Greek Legend - BAISLEWS MEGALOY Ref: Bopearachchi 6W Note: Large planchet, some minor porosity and some delamination. [ATTACH=full]523762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
