Description

MACEDONIAN KINGS Alexander III. 336-323 BC. Platted silver Drachm(3.30g/16mm) Head of Heracles right, wearing lion-skin headdress/ Zeus seated l. holding eagle and sceptre.
Comment:  There is copper in the middle beneath a thin silver coating which shows us an ancient scam, a counterfeit coin, produced in ancient times to pass in circulation as a silver Drachm.
Very interesting and important piece.
