Lot 873
14 kt Yellow Gold Ring, with Silver Drachm of Alexander the Great's brother, Philip III (323-317 BC). Greece, Macedonia. The coins issued under Philip continue the same types initiated by Alexander, thus showing the intention for continued stability in Alexander's little more than decade old empire. Unfortunately, Philip lacked the ability and the wherewithal to prevent Alexander's generals from carving up the world's largest empire among themselves. The smoothly-textured ancient coin shows the bold, broad forms of early Hellenistic art. A handsome and stylish jewel for the man with "imperial" leanings. Ring size: 10.
Estimated Value $450 - 650.
