Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left, holding sceptre; AΛEΞANΔPOY to right, wreath above monogram in left field, kerykeion left below throne. Price -, cf. PO(2) 79 for monogram, 1755 for kerykeion. 3.45g, 16mm, 12h.

About Very Fine. Lightly toned.

As well as bearing the little-used kerykeion symbol below the throne, which Price attributes to Kolophon, this drachm has in the left field a monogram he lists as noted on a drachm from the collection of A. von Prokesch-Osten, though he was unable to view the coin himself and any associated symbols are not known.
