TYPE Ancient Greece, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC), silver drachm, 4.13g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Head of young Herakles to right, clad in lion skin Rev: Zeus enthroned to left, holding scepter and eagle, Greek inscription: ALEXANDROU ("of Alexander"), two monograms before his legs, one under throne REFERENCE: SG 6730 var. GRADING: AEF, some pitting ORDER INFO: G1182, $82 The standard design of Alexander's silver drachms and tetradrachms. The feautures of Herakles, while variable throughout the numerous mints, are often conjectured as being based on those of Alexander himself. The reverse figure of Zeus is often believed to actually represent Phidias' famous statue in Olympia, one of the seven world wonders (now gone). Good style overall, excellent in the rendition of Zeus.
