The reverse is the emblem of the Greek depository Bank

Leaving the gold aside for a minute, that coin looks better than coinage printed by modern mints 2000 years laterbrbrThe artistry, the detail the extra high Relief —it’s a superior coin technically, to what we produce today

I'm quite happy with my Augustus/Tiberius AD 14 bronze coin Pretty sure young Jesus used it to buy some pastry at one time

Comment from : @muratbalta732

When it comes to collecting art, or anything that has beautiful, artistic, and the best craftsmanship that man has ever made, price is all subjective and whoever has, or should I say the deepest pockets can afford to own whatever he, or she is most capricious of the right to own that object
Comment from : @reneebarguen5850

Why on the reverse side does it look like the letter "A" on the left side and the letter "N" on the right side?
Comment from : @tonybost4707

How much you think a gold coin of Julius Caesar and has an ad on it coin is worth that I have

Yuppp awesome coin!
Comment from : @Incorruptus1

Amazing die Hair is awesome Whoever was striking was a champion
Comment from : @JacquesTreehorn

I suppose that whatever someone is willing to pay for a coin, denotes its valueI know of no other way of determining a coins priceThere is no right or wrong
Comment from : @harrybond1485

I'm not very familiar with coins but my question is if they were able to strike the coin with such immense detail why are the edges of these coins so sloppy and uneven?

Comment from : @DirectImpingement

How did you get your hands on such an expensive coin 😮
Comment from : @slipchuck1

I'd prefer the eid mar over the other coin I place more value on the historical aspect than the absolute beauty
Comment from : @ickster23

The two sater faces on the coins sold at same auction were engraved by the same hand eye mind body

Ngl, tons of detail in that coin
Comment from : @wecx2375

The chocolate probably won’t even taste good anymore
Comment from : @WilkinsonX

Why were ancient coins never perfectly round? Certainly they had the means to do so?
Comment from : @xa9590

One of the most outstanding coins of any era, ancient, medieval or modern
Comment from : @johngolden891

How was this so well preserved?
Comment from : @yomommaahotoo264

What is the value of Alexander the Great ?
Comment from : @milanstepanovic8038

Loved this video And how wonderful that you were able to personally handle this particular coin and show it to us in all its glory You have a knack for both videography and description of coins Your ability to pick out artistic and historical aspects that others might miss is appreciated I also learned a lot about coin value in this video Thanks for sharing Well done!
Comment from : @haltersweb

Valeu
Comment from : @jairosantoscerqueira365

Is that the actual coin, or just a very fine example?
Comment from : @bunymustard2584

If you just consider how many beautiful ancient greek silver coins you could have bought with th 4 Million CHF for just 1 Gold coini`d choose to have a much larger collection instead of only one gold coin Anyway a beautiful coin of course
Comment from : @ancientcoincollector

Amazingly, bronze coins of Pantikapaion with a similar design can be had for between 50 and 200 dollars through auctions! I might consider getting one
Comment from : @nathanielscreativecollecti6392

You are such a great teacher of coins and history Thank you!
Comment from : @bertbrecht7540

Do you think the Russian occupation of Crimea has led to significant looting of ancient sites there?
Comment from : @Mark-xv5lb

👍👍👍👍👍
Comment from : @janiskar7892

Love your videos man! My dad has been collecting modern coins since he was a kid, and I recently started collecting ancient Roman coins! Your videos help me so much!
Comment from : @helios3217

Excellent presentation, as always, of such beautiful and interesting ancient artifacts I won't offer an opinion on what anyone should or should not pay for an object desirable for their collection or investment, but I can say as a non-collecting observer, aesthetic quality is the element that I most appreciate Historical relevance is also of course always an asset for interestbrbrOne nitpicking point: The mythological figures depicted in the Hellenistic coins are not portraits in the strict sense of the word That is, they are not likenesses of actual people, but are rather stylized representations of imaginary beings
Comment from : @barrymoore4470

Amazing thanks Leo👍
Comment from : @gordongrant408

Wow! I want to touch this fantastic coin with my hands as well! You are luck :)
Comment from : @ringhiusu

Expect more ancient coins of this artistic level and rarity and significance to sell for incredible prices
Comment from : @chumleyk

It is worth every penny! To consume ancient coins is to consume culture and history So many mindless idiots (but rich) who spend much more on futile things just for ostentation
Comment from : @williamdore5844

Thanks for another great video!
Comment from : @natlmidnightstar

Gorgeous 🪙
Comment from : @CertifiedPre33

I recently purchased a version of this coin in bronze with a left profile portrait for just a couple hundred dollars in very nice condition
Comment from : @stephenparker4083

i think it was Eid mar Aureus only at first😅
Comment from : @irenepongarrang7386

i'd rather have the millionsto buy other coins :)
Comment from : @Oneeyedoyster

Aaron Berk talked about the purchase on his podcast His client he represented was the runner up bidder He thinks that the price was far too high The most insightful thing he said was,"the price of a coin is set by the second highest bidder" It was a perfect storm of two incredibly wealthy people who both wanted that coin at the same time Take them away and it's probably a 1-2 million dollar coin again
Comment from : @nathanielscreativecollecti6392

I remember the discussions that were had surrounding this coin on the Ancient Coin podcast with Aaron Berk Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more info about it Especially seeing as his client was the underbidder on this!
Comment from : @obscurehistory1

Very good last point the good consistency with the value is most likely why it sold for so much
Comment from : @siisjwj7647

Amazing style on it
Comment from : @siisjwj7647

Wow… it’s gorgeous but still don’t understand how this broke the record
Comment from : @angusamongus7566

Why not wear latex gloves when handling that coin? Seems worth it for expensive gold coins
Comment from : @xanderbailey9106

Complimenti! Ottimo video Bellissima Moneta Un saluto dal mio canale YouTube Rocco Monete 🎉🎉🎉

Outstanding and glorious ancient coinage Absolutely staggered at the incredible detail achieved 2,350 years ago, high relief and all Beautiful pieces of history that should be preserved for all humanity

Comment from : @Numischannel

PAN was located close to the eastmost point of the Crimean peninsula These days near it is the (modern day) city of Kerch
Comment from : @creounity

I learn so much for your channel Greek coinage was the finest in the ancient world I have two coins from Antiquity, a Macedonian Tetradrachm from the time shortly after Alexander's death (Seated Zeus on the reverse) and a Drachm of Trajan minted in Arabia Both are common coins but I love them both My next purchase will be one from the early Roman Republic and eventually, I'd like to get one of Emperor Julian's later coins (with a beard)
Comment from : @jl696

The stater is totally worth it!brbrNorthern Black Sea coast coinage is a great topic for a video Olbian dolphins are my personal favorite
Comment from : @caracallaavg

I did my MA on these coins from the Black sea The russian scholars tried to argue that is was PAN not a satyr Pan for Panticapeum That way they could try and say it was an earlier date It is obviously a satyr
Comment from : @rbir2653

😮
Comment from : @HighPlainsDrifter_2025

This coin was stored for a long time in the Hermitage in St Petersburg But in 1934 it was sold to the West by the Bolsheviks In total, only 6 staters with a satyr in 3/4 are knownbrFortunately, the Hermitage still has two coins of this type - one of them is an absolute masterpiece! She is the best in style and has an exceptional grade! The second one is more similar to the one sold at auction
Comment from : @castlecoins5528

I love your videos! Just a heads up that your "ess" sounds are a bit sharp on the ear, consider just pulling down your highs on your equalizer or adding a de-esser
Comment from : @Sub-vl5mz

This was very interesting indeed One question, are you still going to do a video on the god Sol on coin's? I have some that are some what important to me and I'm looking forward to the video
Comment from : @christopherevans2445

How did you get a hold of it? Or are you the one who spend the 6mil? In that case you would certainly know best why its worth that amount 😂
Comment from : @felixmussik7203
