PARTHIA, Artabanus) II (10-38 A.D) Silver drachm, Ecbatana

Galerius, 1 March 305 - 5 May 311 A.D............(Cesar)

Its showing the Tetrarchy, something unheard of in Roman politics before. While not a rare coin,
its a scarce coin and in high demand due to the political significance of the reverse.
Also, silver from the period is scarce itself, again making this a more desirable coin than average.

I once had a 1562 Queen Elizabeth half groat, found amongst a handful of coins in my great-grandmother's estate, but I can't find a picture of it.
