MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Alexander III (the Great) 336-323 B.C. AV Stater (8.44 gms), Sinope Mint, ca. 230-200 B.C.
Pr-1247. Head of Athena right, wearing crested Corinthian helmet. Reverse: Nike standing left holding wreath and stylus, star at left. This posthumous Alexander type represents what was probably a necessity issue produced around 220 B.C. when the city's independence was threatened by Mithradates III of Pontus. Soft strike, as is frequently encountered with this issue. CHOICE VERY FINE.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2500.00
