Alexander the Great 336-323 BCE Silver Drachm Fine

Product Description

This small silver coin was struck by hand over 2,300 years ago during the reign of Alexander the Great. A brilliant leader, Alexander established the largest empire in the ancient world, stretching from Greece all the way to India. In his short life, his influence was so profound that he inspired the Greek Hellenistic culture, which continued until the rise of the Romans. After over two millennia, our authentic Fine quality specimens still clearly depict in high relief the head of Herakles and a seated Zeus on the reverse.
