GREEK, Macedonian Kingdom, Alexander III, 336-323 BC –Drachm - Signed Die6 viewsAR Drachm (16mm, 4.26g): Price 2090A
Obv.: Head of Heracles right, wearing lion skin headdress, K on skin behind ear
Rev.: AΛEΞANΔPOY, Zeus seated left, holding scepter and eagle; monogram in left field.
This drachm is a lifetime issue from Miletos, circa 325-323 BC. It is signed by the artist who placed a "K" on the lion skin headdress behind Alexander's ear.
One could say Ho Hum just another drachm of Alexander III, however this coin is a little more interesting than most. From Roma Numismatics Limited’s 2012 description of a specimen it sold – “Extremely Rare. Only two specimens noted in ADM I (both in the ANS collection). This, and an equally rare contemporary issue at Magnesia ad Maeandrum are the only two instances of signed dies struck for Alexander.”
I was able to find two specimens in auction records. The Roma Numismatics Limited’s 2012 specimen in ACSEARCH (don’t use Price 2090A in the search use “signed die”). The Roma Numismatics Limited’s 2012 specimen should really be listed here, as pleased as I am with my specimen the Roma Numismatics Limited’s specimen is truly superior. The second specimen I found was this specimen in the NGC ancient coin auction records. The specimen shown here was sold twice in 2015 by Heritage I purchased the coin from the second sale.

Apollo kitharoidos, Vatican Museum, a 2nd-century AD colossal marble statue by an unknown Roman sculptor.13 viewsAn Apollo Citharoedus is a statue or other image of Apollo with a Kithara (lyre).

The statue was found in 1774, with seven statues of the Muses, in the ruins of Gaius Cassius Longinus' villa near Tivoli, Italy.

Obv.: Head of nymph Himera left, wearing sphendone, six dots/pellets before face
Rev.: 6 pellets within laurel-wreath
Sear 1110
I was overjoyed to get this specimen. What pleases me about this coin is the extreme sharpness of its details. On the obverse the hair detail is bold and complete while on the reverse the veins in the leaves are bold and jump out at you. The boldness of these very fine details just points out the sharpness of the strike. In addition the both sides are well centered with no missing details.Richard M10
