Good Very Fine.
Acquired from Nomos AG.
This coinage was struck on the Persian weight standard, which supports the belief that they were struck during the Persian occupation of this area. Sear notes that the coinage struck in this portion of Macedon may have been minted by the sons of the Macedonian king Alexander I, who were partisan to the Persians. After the Persians were expelled, Alexander had his sons blinded and banished from his kingdom.
