DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 01:32 am What's the size/weight? I think I read Alexander in the inscription. It's probably a posthumous issue, since Zeus w/crossed legs came later. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 03:20 am to the community It does appear to be a posthumous example of a coin of Alexander III. I'm moving this to the Ancient Coin section where you will get more help. Report this Post to the Staff
Zriver New Member Serbia (Srbija) 3 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 11:31 am Radius 3cm, weight 13,6 grams. Yes, it's inscribed Alexander. Problem is OH letters under the Zeus's arm. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 3:25 pm Judging by the weight, it's a tetradrachm that has a few breaks. Nice piece of history! Report this Post to the Staff
Triskeles Auctions Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 4:03 pm It is a posthumous Alexander the Great tetradrachm, struck at Odessos in Thrace, ca. 280-225 B.C. Missing from Price, but from the same dies as several specimens in the Black Sea Hoard (nos. 231-9). Best, John Report this Post to the Staff

Triskeles Auctions Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 11/19/2013 7:05 pm Certainly. By "missing from Price" I meant that the coin is not published in Martin Price's substantial work on Alexander's coins... Price, Martin J. The Coinage in the Name of Alexander the Great and Philip Arrhidaeus. A British Museum Catalogue. 2 vols. Zurich and London: The Swiss Numismatic Society in conjunction with British Museum Press, 1991. Report this Post to the Staff
