[QUOTE="Caesar_Augustus, post: 5273871, member: 87659"]I really do love the sand-cast flans these tetradrachmas are struck on. The Alexandrian style is also quite nice. Must be due to my Roman Egyptian roots. Here's my most recent, and my only coin of 2020. It's in hand but I have yet to take a photograph of it.
