Augustus Tetradrachm Phillip I
« on: September 04, 2019, 03:21:06 pm »
I just won this tet of Augustus.  I has never seen this type before. There were several of these available for Augustus and so I made it a goal to grab one. This coin was part of the Michel Prieur collection and I have always wanted at least one from his collection of provincial coins. In particular, I like the style of the Antioch coins. I also like the fact that this coin was purchased by Michel Prieur from Richard McAlee. In fact, this coin is illustrated in "The coins of Roman Antioch". This coin will have special place in my provincial 12 Caesars set.

I've been trying to get a Prieur coin for a while now.  Missed one today.  I'm glad you got one.  You can't go wrong with a big hunk of silver.  Nice tet!
