[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8128279, member: 80952"]If you like the coin, I think you did fine for 2021 since the coin is nicely preserved. I read about this (very general) type of drachms 1 year ago when I wanted a random one to add into my collection. I was not interested if it's Alexander lifetime or posthumous (unlikely to find a lifetime anyway) and I had no preferences regarding the city. What I wanted was a drachm with Hercules and Zeus, in a decent shape and with a low price. [ATTACH=full]1415689[/ATTACH] My example is inferior to yours in many aspects - preservation, damage and, I think, also dies quality. But I like the coin and I think I did fine (price was quite low). It is not the same coin - mine is Philip III Arrhidaios struck under Menander or Kleitos - from Magnesia ad Maeandrum but I had no preference, as I said.
