KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great'. 336-323 BC. AR Drachm (16.5mm, 4.26 g, 1h). Sardes mint. Struck under Menander, circa 324/3 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; torch in left field, monogram below throne. Price 2565 var. (monogram); ADM I Series X var. (variety not listed); Triton XIII, lot 1108 (same obv. die); CNG E-215, lot 68. EF, lustrous. Extremely rare variety, one of only three known.

The previous two examples were erroneously cataloged as Price 2566 (which is probably an imitative/barbarous issue).
