Kingdom of Macedon AR Drachm Alexander III (336-323 BC) MS NGC
Struck during the ancient era of the Kingdom of Macedon, this silver drachm dates back to the period of 336 to 323 BC. Weighing 4.19 grams with a metal content of 0.1300 troy ounces, the coin represents an early posthumous issue under the authority of Alexander III, famously known as Alexander the Great. This particular specimen has survived the millennia in exceptional condition, certified as Mint State with a strike rating of 2 out of 5 and a surface quality of 3 out of 5. The obverse of this silver piece features a detailed bust of the mythological hero Heracles, depicted wearing the skin of the Nemean lion. This powerful imagery is paired on the reverse with a representation of Zeus, the king of the gods, seated on his throne while holding a scepter and a perched eagle. Accompanying the divine image is the Greek inscription ALEXANDROY, forever linking the coinage to the legendary Macedonian ruler.
