Alexander III drachm, Magnesia, Price F10772 viewsI had the opportunity to photograph this drachm of Alexander III (the Great), ostensibly from the Magnesia mint but actually a modern forgery, Price F107. The illustration improves on the plate coin in Price, plate CLXVI, as the plated specimen is double struck on the obverse. It is clearly the same reverse die.
