Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 1:41 pm It is what collectors call a "tourist fake", the sort of thing sold to unwary tourists in places like Italy, Greece and the Middle East. Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1304 Posts	Posted 03/02/2020 1:51 pm In response to: "Could it be a tetradracham?" It was probably made to have some of the elements of a Tetradrachm, but again looks soft so caste and larger size but lower weight then a Tetradrachm, plus not silver. So perhaps a tourist piece. I put it next to a $14,000 tetradrachm below. Report this Post to the Staff
