This Kingdom of Macedon – Alexander III Drachm bears the image of one of the most famous conquerors in all of recorded history, Alexander the Great. He grew his empire to a remarkable size of roughly 5.2 million square kilometers. This piece received certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Very Fine (VF) condition, a grade given to ancient coins that is equivalent to 20-25 on the Sheldon Scale. That is an indication that three quarters of the original design remain. On the obverse is the head of Herakles. He faces to the right and dons a lion-skin headdress. On the reverse of the coin is the god Zeus, who is seated with his feet up on a stool. An eagle is perched on his right hand, which is extended, and he holds a scepter in his left. The coin measures 18mm in diameter and weighs 4 g.

Photo Policy: MCM attempts to display product images shown on the site as accurately as possible. We take all of our photos in house and due to reflections on the mirrored or proof surfaces of a coin there may appear to be 'black' when there is not. If a coin has a color on it at all it will be described as 'colorized' in the description or title. Due to the large inventory we sell, we use stock photos. Serial numbers will vary from the image shown unless specifically stated in the product listing that the item pictured is the item you will receive.
