Danubian Celts or Geto-Dacians, 3rd - 2nd Century B.C., Imitative of Philip III of Macedonia
All three referenced specimens were struck with the same dies with the same obverse die break. The blundered inscription downward on the right appears to combine parts of the names AΛEΞANDPOY (Alexander the Great) and ΦIΛIΠΠOY (Philip III of Macedonia). The inscription below has little resemblance to BAΣIΛΕΩΣ (king), found on the Macedonian prototypes. It is likely that this obverse die was one that was used so long and became so worn that eventually obverses struck were a plain featureless dome.GS82668. Silver tetradrachm, CCCBM I 185; Göbl OTA tf. 44, 579/9; Lanz 899 (all struck with the same dies, and with the same obv. die break before eyes), gVF, sculptural high relief head of Herakles, toned, well centered and struck, some die wear, die break on obv., tiny cut on reverse edge, tribal mint, weight 16.206g, maximum diameter 27.4mm, die axis 0o, 3rd - 2nd century B.C.; obverse head of Herakles right, wearing Nemean Lion skin, scalp over head, forepaws tied at neck; reverse Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left, right leg drawn back, feet on footstool, eagle in right hand, long scepter vertical behind in left hand, "sun" over "double axe" monogram left, Z (appearing as H) below throne, AAIΓIΓIIΓIΓIOΛ downward on right, ΠΠIΠΠIΠ below, all in a round convex incuse; SOLD
