Hansen [ATTACH=full]1447319[/ATTACH] Given that this coin is listed about half way through the corpus of tetradrachms listed plus its lighter weight, I have to assume that this coin is somewhat later that the circa 160 BC range that I had thought it had belonged to when I first purchased it. However there does seem to be a tendency for the Attic weight tetradrachms to have broader flans, during the late Hellenistic period. However this was not always the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
