Hi,

Here is another silver tetradrachm that I have but cannot attribute to any king.
Four horses? Help in identification will be appreciated.

Thanks, Vladimir

Just as fake as the first one. Mushy details with casting pearls and the same fabric as the first coin. No good my friend.

I maintain a reasonably large collection of fake ancient coins, and this one looks to be very obviously fake, similar to the poorer examples of fakes in my collection.

Casting roughness in the fields.
Colour too brassy
Details very mushy.

These fakes appear very typical of those found for sale these days in the street markets of Afghanistan.
