MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Time of Philip II to Alexander III (the Great), ca. 340/36-328 B.C. AV 1/12 Stater (0.88 gms), Pella Mint. NGC Ch F, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5.
HGC-3.1, Unlisted; Le Rider-Unlisted. Obverse: Head of Apollo right; Reverse: Kantharos. An EXTREMELY RARE, highly unusual, and possibly UNIQUE specimen, this example doesn't fit with other known types within the fractional series of gold issues that spanned the late reign of Philip II and the early reign of Alexander III. A tremendous opportunity for the specialist in the coinage of Alexander, that of Macedon, or ancient gold more broadly. Includes an NGC photo certificate in lieu of slabbing.
Ex: George & Robert Stevenson Collection (Classical Numismatic Group XXVI - 6/1993) Lot # 62.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
