Alexander Bronze identification
« on: January 05, 2022, 05:49:09 pm »
Hello again, I wanted to know if there is a price number for bronze coins of Alexander if so what price would it be? Also would it be a lifetime or posthumous issue bronze? Thank you!

Hi,
Attractive coin

I think that this is Price 2551, Sardes mint. It is posthumous, dating from the death of Alexander to before 282BC.

Thank you for the price number. I looked it up on the Pella numismatic website and it says that the coin is a lifetime issue from 334-323 B.C. Could you possibly tell me where you found that it was a posthumous issue?

Hi,
Apologies, just read Price again. Price 2551 is associated with the silver of the lifetime coinage 334 to 323 BC.

Hi,

Scan of entry from Price with cross references to Muller and Thompson.

Thank you very much for that reference. I mainly just use the free website, but sometimes the book is good too.
