Rv Zeus seated left holding Nike HGC 1438 15.12 grms 26 mm Photo by W. Hansen Elsewhere I had commented that the Attic standard had retained its weight even into the first century BC. Here not so much. At just over 15 grms the Attic standard from this mint is very much lighter. On a personal note in October 2017 which is 5 years ago I bought this coin in Paris. Funny today I head there. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted October 20, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thanks, @Edessa! If memory serves, the OP for this was posted in 'General' in the first place. We need some more medieval in the house. Back to Philip(pe) II, here's my exampe of his coissue with Roger de Resoi, Bishop of Laon 1174-1201 (hence the earlier part of Philippe's reign).

Rev:– ΑΘΕ, right, owl standing right, head facing, erect in posture, olive sprig and crescent left, all within incuse square; Minted in Egypt from . B.C. 420 - 380. Reference:– cf. SNG Cop 31 ff., SGCV I 2526 (Athens), Ex- Forum Ancient Coins where they graded it VF. The metal did not fill the die completely on the obverse resulting in the rough flat high area near Athena's temple. A test cut on the reverse was filled with pitch in antiquity. The silver is quite bright making it relatively tricky to photograph. From the Harald Ulrik Sverdrup Collection. Ex CNG. From a small hoard of 5 Athenian and 4 Athenian imitative issues. Comment provided by Forum - "Athenian tetradrachms with this droopy eye and bent back palmette have been identified as Egyptian imitative issues because they are most frequently found in Egypt and rarely in Greece. Early in his reign the Egyptian Pharaoh Hakor, who ruled from 393 to 380 B.C., revolted against his overlord, the Persian King Artaxerxes. In 390 B.C. Hakor joined a tripartite alliance with Athens and King Evagoras of Cyprus. Persian attacks on Egypt in 385 and 383 were repulsed by Egyptian soldiers and Greek mercenaries under the command of the Athenian general Chabrias. Perhaps these coins were struck to pay the general and his Greek mercenaries." 17.157g, 25.3mm, 270o 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
