Tetradrachm Apollonia Pontica ?
« on: June 11, 2020, 07:30:37 am »
It looks like Apollonia pontica tetradrachm 16.60gm overstruck or weak strike .What is your opinion?

Perhaps something modern and not very successful.

It also looks modern to me  :(.

There is an article by Evgeni Paunov, "The Tetradrachm Coinage of Apollonia Pontica: Iconography, Issues and Magistrates", where he listed all specimens known to him:
https://www.academia.edu/35016530/The_Tetradrachm_Coinage_of_Apollonia_Pontica_Iconography_Issues_and_Magistrates

The specimen here is not listed  ;), and probably it is too badly preserved that the dies could be determined.

Someone used a file on the obverse.
