[QUOTE="happy_collector, post: 8309782, member: 100070"]I am paying more attention to Alexandrian coins this year. These coins lack high details, but I really like their large size and chunky feeling. Here is a recent pickup from Sphinx Numismatics. A large 33mm coin, but just a drachm. Antoninus Pius is one of my favorite Roman emperors, and snake biga is my favorite coin theme. A great combination! :) [ATTACH=full]1470860[/ATTACH] EGYPT, Alexandria. Antoninus Pius. Year 14.
