Ancient Greek silver. With a heavy tactile feel, it is a genuine piece of MONEY!

Pleasing coin. Glad for you that you have an example.

This comes from a time when Cash was king. A wonderful detailed rich example. Kudos to you. Careful with a coin like this it easy to become addicted to ancient coins. Take it from me, a long time addict.

Alexander tetradrachms have heft, relief, age, and a design anyone can understand. Show one to a non-collecting friend and they will have heard of "Alexander the Great" and will appreciate the coin. Nice pickup!
