That's a pretty nice provincial. I don't know much about these coins yet so I'm interested in hearing about it.

I'm finding I like these Tets more and more. Yours has pretty darn good detail. Are those legionary standards on the reverse?

JW: If you like collecting Roman Colonial tetradrachms, you could do worse than investing in a copy of
'Greek Imperial Coins', by David Sear.
I got mine in a postal numismatic auction that had a section on numismatic books.

Also well worth browsing the 'VCOINS' website for these.
