<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Adriaan, post: 8317687, member: 91875&quot;]Dear all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I mostly collect late roman bronze coins but on the occasion I happily pick up a tetradrachm from Alexandria. Of course, not hampered by any knowledge...&nbsp; Now I have two coins in my collection which I think are the same... However, the coins are slightly different (placement of letters&nbsp; L - Γ in the fields) and the auction attributions seem to indicate different coins. What I do not understand is that both coins seem to be on the the same plate in Dattari-Savio however there is an enormous difference in coin number (10767 vs. 6074). Furthermore, I do not understand year 3 vs. year 10 I can somebody help me? I do not have references...</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much! and please forgive me my ignorance...</p><p><br /></p><p>First coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>Dattari-Savio Pl. 289, 10767 (this coin)</p><p>5.37 gr</p><p>17.8 mm</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Alexandria</p><p>Circa 294-295 (year 3)</p><p>Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust r.</p><p>Rev.
