Under Tigranes ( Dikran), Armenia reached the zenith of its power 95 - 55 B.C. He extended the boundaries of Greater Armenia from the Caspian Sea to the borders of Egypt. In 83 B.C. he accepted the crown of the diminished Seleucid Empire from the ruling aristocracy in Antioch. Northern Syria and Cilicia were incorporated into Tigranes' domain as a satrapy, with Antioch as the capital. The metallic piece below has the shape and design of a coin. I can read in Greek: Basileus and Tigranos, with Sigma as mint mark. It's likely to be an imitation of a possibly ancient coin. I would like to know if such a coin had ever existed.
Yes, I collect them, but I have not yet the silver one. This looks like a medal copy, not an real ancient coin. Such copies where made for a celebration in Armenia orso. https://www.google.nl/search?q=tigr...X&ved=0ahUKEwi3rOSupIbKAhWGnnIKHZiUBOcQsAQIIQ
