Alexander Fouree?

A fourree will weigh less than a solid coin unless it is larger or thicker to compensate for the fact that silver is heavier than copper. Fourrees exist at full weight but most are light by about 25%. Fourrees should sell for much less than solid coins of equal condition. Lately more people seem to be buying them so the gap may be shrinking but no fourree is worth half of solid with the single exception of the coins of the Athenian Emergency that can be identified absolutely as fourrees issued by the official government mint on that one occasion which is documented in history. Other styles of fourree owls are not worth more.

I really suggest beginners avoid fourrees until they are well studied on what they are and what they are not. Early in my collecting career, a dealer refused to sell me one until I convinced him that I really did understand the matter. Those were the good old days.

I bought this coin in a lot with other coins
i believe it did say silver plated on the coin flip. I did get all 20 coins in the lot for $100.00 with other silver coins included which are silver so not a bad deal.

I must admit my ignorance, but I can't remember a fouree of an Alexandrian drachm or tetradrachm.

Intuitively, I see no reason why they should not exist, for the same reason why the Roman Government produced them. Especially so, if silver was running short and silver coins needed to be produced.

I know nothing about the Islamic coin, but I would like to see both sides of the campgate.
