Post #18: Please help identify catalogue number for Alexander III AR Drachm

[Tyler W]

This coin weighs 3.4 grams. It would be most appreciated if someone could identify this type of Alexander Drachm.

The forepart of pegasos stands usually for the mint of Lampsakos. But in Price I don't find a variant with the letters under the throne like on the coin here.

Either it is a variant not listet in Price or perhaps an engraving error of Price 1385: http://numismatics.org/pella/id/price.1385

Thanks for the identification. Since you spotted it as Lampsakos I was able to find the exact type with the monogram pictured as Price 1393.

You are right, it is a pi rho monogram. I saw it as iota alpha or so, that's why I didn't find it  .
