Coins in the name of Alexander
« on: April 20, 2024, 05:47:38 am »
Hi all,

I took these images of some recent purchases hoping that searching would keep me occupied for a two hour train journey but three hours later I'm none the wiser. Any help in identifying would be amazing and appreciated.

I know the small drachm is of Ptolemy I.

I believe the first tetradrachm with the aplustre in the left field may be Corinth mint of Demetrios I.

The second has me stumped - both the monogram and the symbol beneath the throne.

I have a digital copy of Price but I feel like lots of practice is needed with it to become proficient, if anyone has any tips, they would also be appreciated but I know these coins are a huge and complex subject in themselves.

Many thanks in advance!
