                                Description

     This piece was minted for Roman controlled Macedon, Thessalonika,
     circa 90-75 BC under the authority of the quaestor Aesillas. The
     obverse of this type depicts the head of the deified Alexander
     the Great facing right, with flowing hair and wearing the horn of
     Zeus Ammon. The Greek letter Theta appears behind the head, and
     the Greek legend for MAKEDONON appears below. The reverse
     features the legends AESILLAS.Q. above a large club which divides
     a money-chest and a quaestor's chair, all within an olive wreath.
     The quaestor's chair and money chest were symbolic of the
     authority of the quaestor, his status as moneyer, and the overall
     Roman authority over the province. This piece shows some very
     light granularity, and is a little off center on the obverse, but
     otherwise grades Good VF, with bold devices and legends where
     struck up. A very nice example of this interesting type,
     catalouged as Sear Greek 1463. All coins guaranteed genuine
     without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped
     on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales
     tax. MC/Visa accepted on orders of $20 or more. Member ANA, PAN.
     Thanks!
