Philip II, Macedonian Kingdom169 viewsPhilip II of Macedon tetradrachm 359 - 336 BC
Diameter 27mm, weighs 12.8g
Sold on eBay by the seller 'lavenderblue24' as a genuine coin in a private auction
When challenged said that the coin had been authenticated by Grundy Gallery (possibly in Blackpool)
Coin too light and clear cast marks on edge, evidence of bubbling from the pouring process

Beware eBay seller 'lavenderblue24' who appears to have another fake for sale under the guise of a genuine coin
