Macedon, Philippi AE17 (356-323 BC) VF NGC
Dating back to the era of 356 to 323 BC, this bronze AE17 coin originates from the ancient Greek region of Macedon, specifically the city of Philippi. Weighing approximately 5.1 grams, the piece offers a tangible connection to the ancient Mediterranean world, preserved in a certified Very Fine condition. The obverse of the coin features a detailed profile of Hercules. The legendary hero is depicted facing right, draped in his signature lion skin cloak, a classic motif of strength and protection in ancient Greek iconography.
