<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 5503350, member: 86498&quot;]This weekend after Triton XXIV I &quot;celebrate&quot; if I can call it that the first time in years that I have been skunked bidding on a Triton. Well I guess there is a first for everything. As I don&#039;t drink Alcoholic beverages I drown my sorrows with Coca-Cola and chocolate I suddenly remembered the very first coin I won bidding on a Triton This one being Lot 339 in Triton XIV. January 2011This</p><p>Aspendos Tetradrachm 193-192 BC In the name and types of Alexander the Great. Obv Beardless head of Herakles wear lion skin headdress right. Rv Zeus Aetrophoros seated left. Price 2899&nbsp; 16.36 grms 28 mm [ATTACH=full]1239862[/ATTACH] This coin was part of the series of coins minted in this region after the Seleukids ended&nbsp; the Ptolemaic dominion over this region. I have always wonder why these coins exhibited such wide flans My coin being something of an exception. I think that it is to make abundantly clear that these coins were of the Attic standard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
