<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doucet, post: 2568324, member: 46490&quot;]I haven&#039;t been able collect much lately, but what I have been collecting has been from ancient Spain. I&#039;m not sure why. They are mostly pretty rough and usually pretty expensive. It&#039;s a challenge to find a nice one at a bargain price.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one, from Abdera, I got in trade along with some other Iberians for some slabbed US coins at a local coin show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins from Abdera Spain are not real easy to find. </p><p><br /></p><p>The city was first founded by Phoenicians on the southern coast and later came under Roman control. There is a Tiberius issue I would like to get with the temple rev. and tunas making up the columns. Anyone have an example? I would love to see it. Also any other Abderas. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s 24mm, 7.4g</p><p>Obv. Tetrastyle temple</p><p>Rev.
