I'm glad that you are posting, but in order to give them the attention that they deserve, please showcase them in separate threads.

Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 09/05/2024 10:06 pm Yes, your coin is not the same type as the one listed in CNG. There are hundreds of varieties of Alexander the Great tetradrachms; some were made during his lifetime and reign, some were made decades or even over a century after he died. Yours appears to be more like this one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.
