Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:12209 |
Kingdom of Macedon 336 - 323 BC

Nice chunky coin. Beautiful silky color. Looks almost "as struck". Bought this coin (and a second that will be listed shortly) at an estate sale in the Bay Area twelve years ago.
Obverse: Athena (Goddess of Wisdom and Warfare) facing right, wearing plumed Corinthian helmet and earrings and necklace. Great hair and helmet details.
Reverse: Nike (Goddess of Victory) standing with outstretched right hand holding wreath, le...ft holding scepter/stylis. "BASILEOS ALEXANDROU" (of King Alexander) and monogram(mint mark?) in field.
Excellent condition. A small old ding at about 7 o'clock on Reverse edge.
I am not a coin expert but I do my honest best to describe the coins that I do sell. See my perfect Feedback and note the various higher value objects I have sold and the very positive comments made by the buyers.
Great starting price. Free shipping & Insurance.
