Another gift for this holiday season from Randy. Also my first Parthian with a patina I like.

It's a nice coin and a generous gift, Mat. Welcome to Parthia! I'm curious: do you think it's heavily debased AR or, rather, an AE drachm?

Btw, it's not a Sellwood 78. It's Vologases I, Sellwood 70.13.

Yes, welcome to the rare breed of Owners of Parthian Coins! The verdigris makes your coin very attractive.

Nice coin.

I too am developing an interest in Alexandrian tetradrachms. I recently placed an order for a copy of Dattari from the FORVM shop.

For some reason, they are typically well toned, and seem to photograph extremely well. Your photo is exceptional.
