Bonsoir,

 

Voici mon tétradrachme d'Athènes acheté sur Biddr (numismad). Il fait 16.47 gammes pour 23 mm. La pièce est très usée et cristallisée. 

Je ne vois pas de trace de moulure sur la tranche.

Le style semble être du IVe siècle. Paraît-elle authentique ? Est-ce une immitation du Proche-Orient ? 

 

Merci beaucoup,

 

Bonjour 

 

Faudrait chercher dans les archives grecques de la cgb pour comparer

Hi, Bactria, imitation of Athens!

Thank you! It's even more precious to me than a simple Athens coin (which I already own). It's great!

It's a very interesting coin, because of its history, Indo-Greek.

Here are several

What's the difference between Bactrian and Athenian tetradrachms? Is it the style? You have a keen eye. Very interesting ! Thank you very much for all your answers !

yes the style, if you put a Bactria and an Athens side by side the style is slightly different, your coin was indeed minted to circulate in Bactria, the Greeks who created the Indo Greek kingdom produced certain coins resembling the coin of Greece

Nice coin!

Thank you very much for your information! I'm very happy, it's a real little treasure.
