Alexander III the Great didrachm
« on: May 24, 2024, 04:46:20 pm »
Hello. I need your opinions about this didrachm. I didn't find this mintmark in Price's catalogue and I also have doubts about the style. The weight is  8,7 gr.

Marked replica from Greece for jewelry.
They have all a M with a line over it.

Thank you very much! As I understand, this monogram is totally modern and does not exist on any authentic coins?

The monorgam is something like the artist´s signature and it is on the obverse and reverse.
It might be possible to to find such a monogram on some coin typs on the reverse but not on the obverse and and to find it on obverse and reverse is completely impossible.
The ones with monogram are from same artist and have same style and fabric.
The weight is wrong, too.
