Alexander the Great, Gold-plated stater = 5 silver tetradrachms, (5.6g)
Uncertain Greek or Macedonian Mint, struck c. 300 BC, Helmeted head of
Alexander (?) right, hair streaming behind, serpent on helmet. / ALEXANDPOY
Nike advancing left, wings open, holding ship's mast and wreath, ant to

The appearance of the ant symbol is puzzling. This is the only appearance
of this common insect on an ancient coin, except for an archaic fraction
that also shows an ant.
