<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1271827, member: 5739&quot;]<b>NEW PICS + New RARE Treb Gallus (251-253 AD) 4drachm</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some new pics of the Nero &#039;Apollo&#039; tet.... I like it, looks nice... and I am fairly certain it is Apollo on the reverse.&nbsp; I know it is well worn, but sometimes with Ancient coins, having them look ancient adds some character, sadly character doesn&#039;t always mean value.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pics show the coin much better than the tiny seller pics from my previous posts.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I also won this BEAUTIFUL new Emperor Gallus (251 - 253AD) tet, his tets are some of my favorite to collect. This example is another of the rare types with the &#039;S C&#039; beneath either wing, and the officinae number in dots below the bust on the obv, and in a Greek numeral in exergue below the eagle, whereas most Trebonianus Gallus tets of Antioch, Syria have the &#039;S C&#039; in exergue below the eagle, and the officinae Greek numeral between the eagle&#039;s legs. This new Gallus tet is a bit nicer than my last one of the same type, plus that previous one was from the 2nd officinae and 2nd consulship.... this new one is also 2nd consulship, but from 3rd officinae.... I like them both alot, here is the info on my newest one, it is the second to last photo.... the last photo is of another of the same type I bought not long ago.</p><p>------------</p><p>Roman Empire</p><p>Emperor Trebonianus Gallus (251 - 253 AD)</p><p>Silver Tetradrachm, Regnal Year: 2</p><p><br /></p><p>(titles in Greek)</p><p>obv: Laureate bust right, draped and cuirassed. Three (3) dots below bust. Seen from behind.</p><p>rev: Eagle facing, wings spread, head and tail right, holding wreath in beak. &#039;S C&#039; below either wing.</p><p>&nbsp;GreeK numeral in exergue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Weight: 11.47 Grams</p><p><br /></p><p>ex Amphora Ancient Coins, with a Photo Certificate of Authenticity signed by David Hendin.</p><p>-----------</p><p><br /></p><p>Both these Emperor Gallus tets are quite beautiful IMO, I have quite a few of the regular, more common issue Trebonianus Gallus Antioch Tetradrachm type in higher grade than these, but these are a bit unique and more interesting in a way. But I love all my Gallus tets, and all my coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Okay so like I said, the first three photos are of the Nero - Apollo Tetradrachm of Alexandria, Egypt.</p><p>The last two are my newest Rare style Emperor Trebonianus Gallus (251 -253 AD) Antioch Tetradrachm..... the last photo of them all is a Rare Gallus Tet I got a few weeks ago, officinae 2. The second to last photo, the more silvery looking one, is the officinae 3 - ex Amphora Coins one which I described above. I like them both. Let me know what you guys think <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
