Asia Minor, uncertain southern mint AR Tetradrachm. In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon. Circa 320-280 BC. Head of Herakles to right, wearing lion skin headdress / Zeus Aëtophoros seated to left, holding sceptre; AΛEΞANΔPOY to right, lagobolon to left, K below throne. Price 3070. 17.00, 27mm, 12h.
Good Very Fine; obverse weakly struck.
Martin Price placed this issue at an uncertain mint in southern Asia Minor. During the late 4th century and early 3rd century BC the Kings of Macedon, the Seleukid Kings of Syria and the Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt led military campaigns against each other in that particular area. Therefore this issue could be linked to all three kingdoms since all three of them were striking coins in the name and types of Alexander III 'the Great'. There is nothing on the coin suggesting a connection to a particular ruler or kingdom.
