chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 12:40 pm Great link. Genius to bring the dirt for sifting to people rather than getting people to the dirt. What an exciting way to bring something educational to a school. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

antwerpen2306 Pillar of the Community Belgium 1194 Posts	Posted 05/21/2018 2:37 pm In this period , the 4th century BE, the Athenean tetradrachm was imitated in all the mediterranean world , from Egypt over Arabia , Persia to Central Asia . As Palestina was a part of the Persian empire , it is normal there were also imitations of this coin with local inscriptions , as in Egypt , Persia .... These imitations ended about 300 BC , so it is not sure that this Yehud coins (Aramaic name for this Achaemenid province) are to date at the end of the Persioan empire of the beginning of the Ptolemaic period . After 300 , these coins were replaced by Ptolemaic , Seleucid or Alexandrian tetradrachms .albert Report this Post to the Staff
