Marsyas Mike Posted March 18 · Member Share Posted March 18 This one was waiting in the mail box for me yesterday (St. Patrick's Day) - it is green. It is also difficult to photograph - it is a Parthian chalkous of Mithridates II I think - I'm still working on attributing it. Sellwood 28-something, I think (2.68 grams, 11 mm) - the type seems to be differentiated by the number of rays on the star on M's hat. Also there are various mint locations that I can't figure out - silver drachms have a mint monogram on the reverse, but these AEs apparently do not. This site is very helpful: https://www.parthia.com/mithradates2.htm Anyway, very green: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
