If the last video had some pretty amazing Silver pieces, this one has even more spectacular ones! Silver was scarce in Egyp, but they certainly put whatever they could get to good use!

The last video focused on the large and impressive Tetradrachmae! In this one, we have a nice mix of smaller Seleucid fractions, really worth a watch and collecting this niche!
