TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 5:06 pm I added rim pics. Thanks for checking this out spence. Something that doesn't come out in the pictures very well is that the reverse side of the coins is cupped. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 11/14/2023 7:08 pm It's a copy, in the wrong metal, of a tetradrachm of Antiochos VIII.
