[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4514474, member: 96635"]Very nice tetradrachm! Sidon and Tyre, even during Seleukid times, were already competing eachother, even visible on the coinage. This is a Phoenician tetradrachm during the Seleukid empire from the neighbouring city of Tyre (my favorite coin hence my profile picture). [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/usjz4G9.jpg[/IMG] [B]Alexander I (Balas). 152/1-145 BC. AR Tetradrachm. Tyre mint. Dated SE 167 (146/5 BC). Obverse: [/B]Diademed and draped bust of Alexander Balas right. [B]Reverse: [/B]Eagle standing left on prow of galley, palm-branch over right shoulder; club surmounted by monogram to left, ΙΞΡ (date) and monogram to right. [B]Reference:[/B] SNG Spaer 1545-1546; Newell, Tyre 79; Houghton 749. 13.73g[/QUOTE]
