MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Antigonos I Monophthalmos, as Strategos of Asia, 320-306/5 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.09 gms), Tyre Mint, dated RY 37 of King Azemilkos (313/2 B.C.). NGC Ch EF, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.
Pr-3293 (Ake). In the name and types of Alexander III (the Great) of Macedon. Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin; Reverse: Zeus seated left, holding eagle and scepter; Phoenician date and letter indicating Azemilkos in left field. Though slightly off-center on the obverse, this powerful strike presents incredible eye appeal and will certainly dazzle the viewer. A hint of red-brown accentuates the devices, with some charming brilliance remaining as well. The bust of Herakles seemingly leaps off of the flan, while the reverse presents great centering and intricate detail--right down to the legibility of the lengthy Phoenician date.
From the Robert Feuer Collection.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
