Macedonia, Alexander III The Great, 336-323 BC. Tetradrachm

Macedonia, Alexander III The Great, 336-323 BC; Struck under Philip V in Pella, c. 180 BC, Tetradrachm, 1570.00g. Price-634. Obv: Head of Herakles r., wearing lion skin. Rx: Zeus seated l., AΛEΞANΔPOY and tripod in l. field; B below throne. Quite rare; we find only one example on Coin Archives. It's quite unusual to find Alexander's name placed on the left side as opposed to the normal right. Perhaps an engraver's error, quickly corrected, as more common dies of this issue place the name on the right as expected.. VF
