KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great', 336-323 BC. Drachm (Silver, 14 mm, 4.23 g, 6 h), Amphipolis. Head of Herakles to right, wearing lion's skin headdress. Rev. AΛEΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ Eagle with closed wings standing right on thunderbolt; to right, ivy leaf. Cf. Price 25-26 (Diobol and obol with the same control mark). SNG Alpha Bank -. Troxel 150 (same dies). Extremely rare, apparently the second known example. Good fine.
The 'eagle' coinage of Alexander was the king's first coinage and was apparently produced only in Macedonia; it must have been issued almost entirely for local use.
