Hi Friends,

I hope I hit the right folder for this one. Wanted to share one of my newest additions in my 2nd century AD collection of Tetradrachms. I liked the patina of this one and the coin is generally good enough for me to be collected, I thought.

Ancients Greek, Macedon. Under Roman Rule. First Meris. Ca. 167-148 BC. AR Tetradrachm
16.69 gr, 31 mm

Obverse: Bust of Artemis right, wearing stephane, bow and capped quiver over shoulder, all within circle of dots in tondo of Macedonian shield

Reverse: MAKEΔONΩN / ΠPΩTHΣ, club right; AP monogram above, oak crown around, thunderbolt behind

Reference: SNG Copenhagen 1310-1311.

Best wishes,
Burak

Impressive!  Nice style, well struck with very strong detail on the club, and the reverse in general. 
I'd welcome seeing your collection in the members gallery...  if you were inclined to share them.
