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

Best wishes,
Burak
