I ended up getting some money for christmas, most of it went to other hobbies and some car fixes but the rest I put towards this tetradrachm.
I have wanted it for almost a year and after thinking it over and budging the price down a bit, its now mine.
Surprisingly tetradrachms of Claudius arent as rare like his imperials, it's still pretty cool to own though.
Claudius (41 - 54 A.D.)
EGYPT ALEXANDRIA
Billon Tetradrachm
O: TI KLAUDI KAIS SEBA GERMANI AUTOKR, laureate head of Claudius right, LΓ (date) before.
R: MESSALI-NA KAIS SEBAS, Messalina standing facing, head left, leaning on draped column, holding figures of two children in extended right hand and cradling two grain ears in left arm.
Year 42 - 43 A.D.

Done
Alexandrian roman coinage certainly has that specific look to it that no matter who's on it you can go yep that's from Alexandria
World Collection
British Collection
German States Collection
Nothin' wrong with that.
