Hybrid COTD

I have known of this coin for over 6 years. Last week I finally pulled the trigger and purchased it ... I'm not sure why I waited so long nor why it went unsold! It's such a landmark coin and will be a cornerstone in the provincial section of my collection.

The coin also inspired me to purchase the Prieur catalogue in which it is featured.

Amazing purchase David.  This must make the top 10 list for the year if not of all time!  Deserves to be in your collection!

This coin may rewrite what we know about the mint in Alexandria and Antioch.  It's an important coin.
