Kingdom of Macedon, Antigonos I Monophthalmos or II Gonatas AR Drachm. Uncertain mint in Greece, Circa 306-301 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress / BAΣIΛEΩΣ [ANTIΓONOY], Zeus seated left with eagle and sceptre. Cf. Gorny & Mosch 203, 150 (first example); cf. Pecunem 16, 152 (second example). cf. Pecunem 29, 112 (third example). 4.07g, 17mm, 2h.

Very Fine. Possibly only the 4th example known.

These excessively rare drachms are linked to a series of Alexander-style tetradrachms struck in the name of a king Antigonos; See H.A. Troxell, The Peloponnesian Alexanders, ANSMN 17, 1971, pl. 19.1 (Antigonos Gonatas); Head, HN 229 (Antigonos I.).
