Hello,

Im going to buy a silver Ptolemy tetradrachm but I'm not sure which one I should choose.
Which one would you guys choose?
They are almost at the same price and they both have their own nice elements:

Thanks for helping me out!

#1
PTOLEMY II 285-246 BC, TETRADRACHM

No.2 is nicer. I do like no.1 and would like a well centered no.1 over the number 2
