| Lot description: KINGS of MACEDON. Philip III Arrhidaios. 323-317 BC. AV Stater (17mm, 8.64 g, 11h). In the types of Philip II. Kolophon mint. Struck under Menander or Kleitos, circa 322-319 BC. Head of Apollo right, with the features of Alexander III, wearing laurel wreath / ΦIΛIΠΠOY, charioteer, holding kentron in extended right hand, reins in left, driving fast biga right; tripod below.

Faintly toned, a few minor marks on obverse, scuffs on reverse. EF. Fine style. This beautiful gold stater belongs to the period following the death of Alexander the Great when his half-brother, Philip III Arrhidaios, was the nominal head of state together with the conqueror's infant son by Roxanne, Alexander IV. The gem-like delicacy of the engraving of these extraordinary dies singles this issue out as belonging to one of the mints of the Ionian coastal region of western Asia Minor, an area which, of course, was not controlled by the Macedonian monarchy in the time of Philip II. Kolophon is the city to which it is tentatively attributed, the tripod symbol linking it to an issue in the name of Philip III (cf. Price P41). Estimate: 7500 USD |  |
