KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. Drachm (Silver, 3.85 g 1), Temnos, struck circa 188-170 BC. Head of Herakles in lion skin headdress to right. Rev. ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ Zeus seated left on backless throne, hold eagle in his right hand and scepter in his left; to left, ΑΜ over vine-tendril with grapes above an oenochoe to right . Price 1684. Extremely rare. A splendid example, well struck on a broad flan, extremely fine.


Temnos struck a well known series of broad-flan Alexander tetradrachms during the first quarter of the 2nd century BC, but drachms are actually extremely rare. Apparently there are only three known examples, all from the same issue (one was acquired by the British Museum in 1914).
