A drachm of the Antioch mint, though I'm not good enough with these to distinguish the genuine Antioch drachms from the local barbarous imitations, or to read the date (which is just below the cornucopia). That's the fellow depicted, though, I believe. And welcome! Edited by philadelphian 07/13/2015 2:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

We usually don't like to see ancients placed in mount because of the damage that may be caused to the coin. But IMO this mounting has add more overall value to the piece as a fine piece of jewelry. Near as I can read the date is the it is 154=158 BC. Report this Post to the Staff
