GREEK, Macedonia, Alexander III, AR Drachm
|
Drachm, 4.1 gm, 16.5 mm, 336-323 BC, Sear (GC) 6730
Obv: Anepigraphic with head of young Heracles, capped in lion skin.
Rev: Zeus seated left on backless throne, his legs crossed at the ankle; holding eagle and sceptre. Crescent in lower left field; gamma monogram beneath throne. ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ to right.
Comment: Unfortunately, my meagre library does not allow a decent attribution, but I assume that, based on the crossed ankles for Zeus and the monogram added beneath the throne, this coin is perhaps not a lifetime issue.
