KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’, 336-323 BC. Tetradrachm (Silver, 25 mm, 17.05 g, 6 h), Corinth, struck under Demetrios I Poliorketes, circa 304/3-290. Head of Herakles to right, wearing lion skin headdress. Rev. [AΛ]EΞANΔPOY Zeus seated left on high-backed throne, holding long scepter in his left hand and eagle standing right with closed wings in his right; in field to left, dolphin downwards; below throne, NO. Price 858. Nicely toned. Light doubling, otherwise, very fine.


Price placed the mint for this issue in either Macedon or Greece. However, the mint is almost certainly Corinth, as it appears frequently in hoards with other Corinthian issues and also shares the 'NO' control with these.
