<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3010192, member: 19463&quot;]My two are the same design but one is an AR tetradrachm and the other AE13.&nbsp; How many of the bronzes equaled the value of the tet when issued?&nbsp; There are many variations of the tet but mine is low grade and missing most of the minor details in the field necessary to distinguish it.</p><p>from CNG:</p><p><b>Demetrios I Poliorketes. </b>306-283 BC.&nbsp; circa 300-295 BC. Nike alighting atop prow of galley left, blowing trumpet she holds in her right hand, and holding stylis in her left /Poseidon Pelagaios, nude, standing left, throwing trident held in his right hand, mantle over his left arm</p><p><br /></p><p>In his book, <b><i>Early Hellenistic Coinage</i></b>, Otto Mørkholm states that this obverse type &quot;has been connected with one of the greatest works of art of Antiquity, the Nike of Samothrace in the Louvre, but the general opinion is now that the statue is somewhat later in date and there is no direct connection between them. This, of course, does not exclude the possibility of the coin type having served as model or inspiration for the statue.&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]746438[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]746439[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=38272" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=38272" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=38272</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
