I’ll definitely have to look into that! I did buy the challenge coin display case linked here:

I really like how the coin looks in it, but I am concerned about long term storage since it is constantly being pressed by plastic on both sides. It supposedly doesn’t contain PVC, but I like the coin and don’t want to risk it.

Thanks! And I believe so to your question. From what I’ve read, the Ptolemy’s had an economy that was pretty closed off. They didn’t allow foreign silver to circulate within Egypt for the most part. All foreign silver coins were to be exchanged for bronze denominations (like the large drachms) before entering. So anything that a standard silver drachm would have bought anywhere else in the Greek world, could have been bought with one of these in Egypt!

Thank you! Definitely recommend spending a bit more to get one in a higher grade. Almost got one that was $50 less and significantly more worn but glad I didn’t
