<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 3923160, member: 86498"]I think about the only coins that would even come close might be the staters of the Macedonian kings Philip II and Alexander III and their successors. Another solution might be the electrum Carthaginian staters. The only thing is it might be wise to increase your limit a bit so that you can acquire a nicer coin. However if you you can drop your minimum diameter you could get one of the earlier electrum trites or hektes. The earlier coins have a slightly higher gold content than the later examples and so might actually solve two problems your desire for a gold coin as well as getting something very ancient. </p><p>Av Stater of Kassander 300-290 B.C.
