MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Antigonos I Monophthalmos, as Strategos of Asia, 320-306/5 B.C. AV Stater (8.56 gms), Babylon Mint, ca. 315-311 B.C. NGC MS, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.
Pr-3735. Struck in the name and types of Alexander III (the Great). Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Nike standing left, holding wreath and stylis; below left wing, head of satyr left; below right wing, monogram in wreath. Very well centered along with being quite brilliant and lustrous, this dazzling specimen presents tremendous eye appeal and should undoubtedly garner a very strong bid. Rather unsurprisingly, the act of encountering one nicer would be a difficult feat. Mentioned on the holder as an issue under Seleukos I, though scholarship points instead toward the present attribution under Antigonos I.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
