[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 3404065, member: 87809"]Nice coins everyone! and TIF yours are simply awesome!! They take the breath away :-) Mine is not as nice, but it is also a life-time issue. Le Rider has different numbers (222-306) for many of these tetradrachms, and it is hard to tell exactly which reference corresponds to this one. The most probable one for mine is Le Rider 254 and SNG ANS 389 13.88 g, 25 mm; Pella ca. 342/1-ca. 337/6 BC. Obv.: Laureate head of heavy bearded Zeus right Rev.: ΦIΛIΠ-ΠOY (minted by) Philip; youth on horseback to right, crowning horse with palm; below horse's belly, horizontal thunderbolt [CENTER][ATTACH=full]903869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]903870[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] The reverse, a muscular horse ridden by a young, slim jockey shown running his victory lap and holding a palm branch, a symbol given to the victor is a reference to the victory at the Olympic Games of 356 BC of a horse of Philip II. And my one and only stater, posthumous, with a portrait of Apollo that looks like the first one posted by randygeki 17 mm, 8.60 g Troas, Abydos, ca. 316 - 295 BC struck under Leonnatos, Philip III Arrhidaios, or Antigonos I Monophthalmos. Ref.: SNG ANS 295 (type); Le Rider pl. 90, 10 var.; Obv.: portrait of the god Apollo, wearing laurel wreath. Rev.: ΦIΛIΠΠOY ("Of Philip". Philip II in biga racing r., holding kentron and reins; ΔY and cornucopia to r. below horses [CENTER][ATTACH=full]903873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]903874[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
