Description
KINGS of MACEDON. Philip III Arrhidaios. 323-317 BC. AR Drachm (16mm, 4.25 g, 1h). In the name and types of Alexander III. Miletos mint. Struck under Asandros, circa 323-319 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; grain ear in left field. Price 2100; ADM I Series III. Slight die wear on reverse. EF. Well struck from dies of pleasing style. A wonderful coin in hand.
From the Style Collection.
This Miletos-mint drachm in the name of Alexander the Great has a rather distinctive style. Herakles appears rather lean here, more like the classic image of Apollo. The engraver of the obverse shows a fine sense of proportion and strong knowledge of facial anatomy. The reverse figure of Zeus is nicely proportioned but adheres to the older quasi-archaic convention showing his legs side-by-side.
Closing Date and Time: 20 November 2019 at 10:00:20 ET.
Winning bids are subject to a 20% buyer's fee for bids placed on this website, 22.50% for all others.
