ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 07/09/2013 8:54 pm Recently obtained with a small lot of coins. Billions aren't my favorites-- the texture is not very appealing. It does look better in hand though and ol' A-Pi is an OK guy, so I'm happy to give him a home. Antoninus Pius (AD 138-161) billion tetradrachm Alexandria, Year 11 (AD 147/8) 23mm (~4mm thick!), 11.7gm, Obv: Laureate head of Antoninus right Rev: Dikaiosyne seated left in throne holding scales Ref: Emmett 1377. Milne 1928 I haven't found a good reference site for these and don't have the full attribution. Some of the above was copied from the seller and the coin flip. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 07/09/2013 9:05 pm I like that coin. Billon I think is more appealing the Potin. I find your coin very appealing. It definitely has a nice AP with a local Egyptian flair. Edited by Ancientnoob 07/09/2013 9:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Since it is unappealing I would gladly do you the favour of taking it off your hands :P ;) I haven't been able to find a reference site either for these. Wildwinds is all right but can be disorganized. Report this Post to the Staff
