I have waited for one of these ever since I started collecting provincial silver. After a long postal wait it finally arrived! https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-146163

Really nice catch David, these don't come around that often at all.  I missed one a while back and it's bugged me ever since!

Here's my didrachm of the same type, thank goodness you weren't collecting provincial silver in those days  ;D

To be honest, it is one of the coins that inspired to me to collect provincial silver. An utterly fantastic piece!
