Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 6:55 pm Lovely example and the drachms seem to be a bit scarcer than the tets. Good call. Its amazing when you put these coins in perspective, imagine that coin was made by Bactrian Nomads in the Greco-Roman style and to a rather fine degree on a small planchet. Kudos.
