Description
Macedonian Kingdom, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, 323 - 301 B.C., In the Name of Alexander the Great

MA95165. Silver drachm, Price 1398, Müller Alexander 823, SNG Cop 990, SNG Munchen 455, AMD II series X, VF, a little rough, edge cracks, Mysia, Lampsakos (Lapseki, Turkey) mint, 4.001 grams, 17.2 mm, die axis 315o, c. 310 - 301 B.C.; obverse head of Herakles right, wearing Nemean Lion skin, scalp over head, forepaws tied at neck; reverse Zeus Aëtophoros seated left on backless throne, nude to the waist, himation around hips and legs, right leg drawn back, eagle in extended right hand, lotus tipped long scepter vertical in left hand, AΛEΞAN∆POY downward on right , KI in left field, No monogram under throne; estimated value: $100.00

Herakles is most often depicted on coinage wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion over his head. The first of Herakles` twelve labors, set by his cousin King Eurystheus, was to slay the Nemean lion and bring back its skin. Herakles discovered arrows and his club were useless against it because its golden fur was impervious to mortal weapons. Its claws were sharper than swords and could cut through any armor. Herakles stunned the beast with his club and, using his immense strength, strangled it to death. During the fight, the lion bit off one of his fingers. After slaying the lion, he tried to skin it with a knife from his belt but failed. Wise Athena, noticing the hero`s plight, told him to use one of the lion`s own claws to skin the pelt.




PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Please read the instructions below and use our automated checkout to make payment for FORVM Auctions. (If you win an auction and Forum is not the seller, you will have to contact them for payment instructions).

Please CHECKOUT WITHIN 3 DAYS after your first FORVM Auction win. After 10 DAYS unpaid FORVM Auctions may be relisted.

Books, lots, and antiquities will require higher shipping charges. They cannot be shipped by first class mail. Oversees shipping for heavy items may be very expensive. If the actual postage exceeds our shipping fee, we will inform you of the difference and expect you to pay the actual cost.

To save money, you may COMBINE SHIPPING CHARGES for coins from multiple FORVM Auctions and also for coins purchased Forum`s fixed price COINS AND ANTIQUITIES CONSIGNMENT SHOP.

To combine shipping, wait until the last auction you wish to combine has closed before checking out (but not more than 10 DAYS after the first auction closed).

How To Bid

1. Register for a Forum Ancient Coins account - if you haven't already.
2. Login to your account - if you haven't already.
3. Learn about the seller - Read feedback and ratings left by others to assure that the seller is trustworthy.  Forum bans sellers that have customer complaints, but it is still a good idea to check the seller's feedback.
4. Know the details - read the item description, seller terms, and shipping charges closely.  Sellers are required to accept PayPal (and you should only pay with PayPal), to guarantee delivery, and to guarantee authenticity without a time limit.  Read the sellers listing for other terms and return policies.
5. If you have questions - contact the seller FORVM AUCTIONS before you bid (click on the seller's username to send a message to the seller).
6. Place your bid!  Bid the maximum amount you want to pay for the item.  Your bid is an automated proxy bid and the amount will always be kept secret.  The program will automatically bid for you, the lowest possible amount (one increment above the next highest bid), and only up to your maximum.  If other bids are placed before the auction closes, the system will automatically bid for you again, but again only the minimum amount needed, and only up to your maximum.  If someone else bids more than your maximum, you will not be the high bidder; to win, you will need to place a higher bid before the auction closes.  If you are the high bidder at the end of the auction, you are the winner.  As the winner of the auction, you only pay the lowest possible winning bid, which may be less than your maximum bid.
