MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Time of Alexander III (the Great) to Philip III, 336-319 B.C. AV Stater (8.57 gms), Imitating Amphipolis Mint. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 3/5 Surface: 5/5.
cf. Pr-164 (for prototype). Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Nike standing left, holding stylis and wreath; thunderbolt in left field. A rather interesting and unusual specimen, this piece--given its bizarre style--is undoubtedly a contemporary imitation of an Alexander-type Stater, and likely would have fooled a number of unwitting individuals in antiquity. Golden-yellow and quite well centered.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
