Dutchgulden Pillar of the Community Netherlands 1204 Posts	Posted 01/13/2014 3:19 pm Yes, I finally got one! Satraps of Caria, a Maussollos Drachm. Bought it in combination with a discount voucher of Gitbud Naumann an of course some extra money. After my cancelled purchase about 6 months ago of Lanz because of suspicious pearls, I didnt expect to find it for a normal price again! It wasnt so expensive because the reverse is quite bad. On the other hand the obverse of this coin is great imo!

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 01/14/2014 4:39 pm It is...I picked it up a while back and the first and only "budget" example I could find. It special because the name of the King is in tact as they most often are not. On top of it, its hard to find this famous ruler, who's burial site was one of the "Theamata" seven wonders of the ancient world.
