It's been a while since my last CotD.



As satrap, 323-305 BC. AR Tetradrachm (27mm, 16.95 g, 12h). In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon. Sidon mint. Dated RY 18 of Abdalonymos, king of Sidon (316/5 BC). Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; Σ (date) in left field, ΣI below throne. Price 3504; Newell, Dated 50 (obv. die XXVI); DCA 878. Heavily smoothed, cleaning scratches and banker’s mark on reverse.
