<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WuntBeDruv, post: 24761989, member: 115520&quot;]I was delighted to acquire my first Cistophoric Tetradrachm this week. It has been cleaned at some point and as such is quite bright, but the well-struck, centralised reverse really appealed to me. While the obverse is off-struck and quite flat, the die was obviously worn. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have it as follows - awaiting Lucia Carbone&#039;s &#039;Hidden Power&#039; reference book at Christmas:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cistophoric Tetradrachm, struck at Pergamon c. 104-98 BC. Obverse: no legend, snake crawling from Cista Mystica within ivy wreath. Reverse: two snakes opposed, coiled around bowcase - civic monogram ΠE to left, serpent wrapped around thrysos to right, control marks MH above. Diameter: 27mm. Weight: 12.7g. Kleiner 21 (Pergamon).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1583992[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1583993[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
