Sap Moderator Australia 16899 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 4:48 pm They are not Byzantine and, unfortunately, they are not genuine coins. These are modern cast replicas of ancient Greek coins. The one on the left is a copy of a silver tetradrachm of king Demetrius I of Macedonia; the one on the right appears to be a copy of a tetradrachm from Ptolemaic Egypt.
