[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2862651, member: 72818"]I purchased one of the type from FAC and I'll post it for a comparison. The wear on yours makes it even tougher for me to judge anything from just a photo, especially since so many seem to be weakly struck on the obverse.... Silver tetradrachm, Prokopov Thasos, group XVIII, 1635 (O FF3 / R 1304); SNG Cop 1040 ff., VF, centered on a tight flan, light toning, light marks, Roman provincial or military mint, weight 16.769g, maximum diameter 30.7mm, die axis 0o, c. 148 - 80 B.C.; obverse head of Dionysos right, wearing taenia and wreathed in flowering ivy; reverse HPAKΛEOYΣ ΣΩTHPOΣ ΘAΣIΩN, Herakles standing half left, nude but for Nemean lion's skin on left arm, resting right hand on grounded club before him, left hand on hip, MH monogram inner left.
