KINGS of MACEDON. temp. Philip III – Lysimachos. Circa 323-280 BC. AR Drachm (17mm, 4.23 g, 12h). In the name and types of Alexander III. Uncertain mint in western Asia Minor. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monogram in left field, monogram-in-circle below throne. Price 2778 (same dies as illustration = BM 1982,0513.17). Lightly toned. Near EF. Very rare, only the BM coin in Pella (referenced by Price), one in CoinArchives; Price also notes presence of this issue in the Thrace (1980) hoard, and though the quantity is unknown, it likely small, due to the lack of examples on the market after the hoard's disbursal.
