I'm posting a tetradrachm of Athens, New Style, for discussion.
The main question is authenticity. I believe the coin is genuine, but I'd like to hear my colleagues' opinions.
The coin weighs 16.87 grams.
I've identified the type as Thompson 123b, 147/146 BC.
If the authenticity is in order, is this coin dated? And if so, where is the date inscribed?
And did I indicate the correct type?
Thanks!!

I can’t address the authenticity question, but it’s believable. Comparing some other coins it does look a little different, but that may not mean much.
There shouldn’t be a date on the coin.
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
SimonW, wery thanks!
I would be glad to have new participants in this topic.
I found a tetradrachm for sale with a single-stamp obverse and the same trace of a cracked stamp on the comb.

Oh, and here's that tetradrachm. Leu, 2020 year.
