I haven't bought myself any Greek silver for a while and have finally fallen off the wagon. I have wanted this type for years and so it is another of my Greek types to tick off my wish list. I paid more than I had intended for the type but am happy with it. Macedonia under Roman Protectorate, First Meris, Tetradrachm (Circa 167-148 B.C.) Silver Tetradrachm Obv: Diademed and draped bust of Artemis right, bow and quiver over shoulder, in the center of Macedonian shield. Rev: MAKEDONΩN / PRΩTHΣ, Club; monogram above, two monograms below; all within oak wreath, thunderbolt to left. Minted in Amphipolis Reference:- SNG Copenhagen 1315. Weight: 17.0 g. Diameter: 28.5 mm.  I wonder what I will get next...... Martin |

It's gorgeous. Such an intricate design, very attractive portrait. Glad that one went to someone in the 'family'.

These are great coins, I truly love them. They are great. The slightly early Macedonian coins of Antigonus II Gonatas are also exceptional with the the bust of Pan in the center. There are also variations with Roma in the center. Man how I want one of those.
