G4253

      MACEDONIAN KINGDOM: Alexander III, the Great (336-323 
      BC). AR tetradrachm (16.60 gm), Carian(?) mint, ca. 225 
      BC. Head of young Heracles right in lion skin headdress 
      / Zeus enthroned left, holding eagle and scepter. 
      Trésors 5.21. Price -. Rare and of fine style. Good very 
      fine
      Although Price lists a number of unmarked tetradrachms, 
      none of them match this piece in all details of style 
      and fabric. Seyrig, however, recorded a similar specimen 
      in the Dniyé hoard. He attributed it to an uncertain 
      Carian mint because of an obverse die link to Mektepini 
      414, a coin with a double axe symbol.
