Alexander III tetradrachm, unknown variety

5 сообщений • просмотрено 81 раз

Heyo!

Yesterday I received no more than two Alexander III (the Great) coins. I have browsed all 17 pages of Alexander III coins but failed to my an exact match, which is why I now turn to you, the experts.

 

I believe it's better I make two posts, so we all are talking about the same coin. :)

 

Alexander III (the Great) (336-323 BC, Tetradrachm

 

Weight: 17.1g

duameter: 26mm

 

Reverse: Monogram “ΜΤΡ” in a laurel wreath under the throne.

 

The only one I've found in the catalogue with the laurel wreath is N#421991 , but I'm not sure it's the same.

 

Any ideas, please? 😇

No one? 🤷

Maybe here's better pictures?
