TYPE Ancient Greece, Alexander III the Great (336-323 BC), silver drachm, uncertain mint 4.06g 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"), monogram "omega-alpha" before his legs, none under throne REFERENCE: Mul 1579, SG 6730 var. GRADING: VF, scarce monogram ORDER INFO: G1404, $98 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). Scarce monogram, which doesn't appear even in combinations with other types, and considered in this case by Muller to be of entirely uncertain location.
