<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 4548350, member: 102653&quot;]I stumbled upon this thread researching a new coin of mine that ended up being a good match to the first coin in this thread! I didn&#039;t know much if anything about the Macedonian kings, and I was bought this coin spuriously off of eBay under the attribution of Alexander the Great. It was under $20 so I figured it was a fake but it looked good enough and I was intrigued enough to chance it. Having it here in hand, I&#039;m fairly confident that the coin is authentic after looking at other examples and it had just been misattributed, but I would appreciate confirmation on the authenticity as Greek coins are not my specialty. Anyways, this thread was an interesting read and I was glad to stumble upon it and I wanted to revive it a bit and share my example as well. The thunderbolt is hard to see in the photo but it&#039;s clearly there at the right angle.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1125850[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center">Philip II</p> <p style="text-align: center">King of Macedonia</p> <p style="text-align: center">359-336 BCE</p> <p style="text-align: center">AE 17 | 5.63g</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Apollo right</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: &quot;ΦIΛIΠΠOY&quot; above a young horseman right, thunderbolt below</p> <p style="text-align: center">SNG ANS 880</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
