[QUOTE="Mat, post: 3843348, member: 21445"]I have been in the market for a long while for an Alexandrian Tetradrachm of Elagabalus. They appear now and then but not in the price range I am willing to pay. I finally got one from a dealer that had many available, I decided on getting this particular one because it was the scariest for the year and had a better weight. Despite being a "boring eagle", the others were not much better with Nike or some other god reverse. And this eagle stance is different than the more common eagle reverses for him. I only found one other example & it was on Numiscorner stock. [IMG]https://i.postimg.cc/C175jVvc/elaalex.jpg[/IMG] Elagabalus (218 - 222 A.D.) Egypt, Alexandria Billon Tetradrachm O: A KAICAP MA AVP ANTWNINOC EVCEB, Laureate bust right. R: Eagle standing facing, head right, with wings spread, holding wreath in beak; LΔ (date) to left.. Dated RY 4 (220/221 A.D.) 22mm 13.59g Köln 2326; Dattari 4153; Milne 2819 Emmett 2921.4[/QUOTE]
