Description [Image] [Image] Syria, Tigranes II of Armenia, 96-56 BC. Silver Tetradrachm Obverse: Bust of Tigranes II, wearing Armenian tiara with star between eagles, beaded pyramidal points on tiara, filet border. Reverse: The Tyche of Antioch seated right on rock holding palm, the river-god Oronrtes swimming right at her feet, on right BA(sigma)I(lambda)E(omega)(sigma), on left TI(gamma)PANOY, in field above Orontes (phi), all within wreath. Condition: Nice VF, Coin is similar to picture and a decent example of this issue. This coin has medium to dark gray toned silver. Slight roughness in areas but good metal for the issue. The artistic rendition of Tyche is excellent, especially her face. Decent strike for this low relief issue. Centering is excellent on both sides. Valuation: Why Valuation? This is NOT a common coin. The last example I found going backward in CNG catalogs was in 1999, CNG 51, lot 568 where an VF with was estimated at $600 and sold for $1050 + 10% = $1155. The next occurrence is CNG 46, lots 665-671 where examples graded: toned good VF, surfaces slightly rough; toned good VF; good VF, porous; good VF, surfaces slightly rough; VF, porous; VF, with small die breaks and reverse slightly off center; and good VF, reverse surfaces slightly rough; were estimated at: $700, $700, $600, $600, $500, $700 and $700; and they sold for, including auction fee of 10%: $935, $1,980, $792, $792, $528, $1,540, and $1,210. As you can see, this coin is rare in excellent condition and most examples have problems. Also, even when the last group came to auction, they went well over estimate. Considering this history, the coin at auction is a better than average example of this coin. To get a much better, one might have to pay in the thousands of dollars. I bought this coin right, so at my reserve, this coin is a steal. My Thanksgiving Eve present to you. Size: 15.29 grams, die axis=1.0, flan 3.3 mm thick, 27.6 mm in diameter.
