KINGS of MACEDON. Demetrios I Poliorketes. 306-283 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 17.07 g, 6h). In the name and types of Alexander III. Tyre mint. Struck circa 301/0-295/4 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monograms in left field and below throne. Price 3538 var. (monogram below throne); Hersh, Tyrus 28 corr. (monogram 24 in left field; obv. die VII); HGC 3, 1009b. Toned. Good VF.

This particular coin has an interesting die error. Apparently, the engraver of the reverse die originally engraved the rho in Alexander's name after the nu, then realized his error and engraved the delta over it.
