Lot 1409
Macedonian Kingdom. Phillip III, 323-317 BC. AR Tetradrachm, Babylon mint. Head of Herakles right, wearing lionskin headdress. Reverse: Zeus enthroned left, holding eagle and scepter; M at left, labrys-like monogram underneath chair. Price 186A. The loss of detail to the lionskin headdress from the cleaning of corrosion there resulted in the ICG grade. Actually the coin, in point of wear, is a fully struck, high relief about Extremely Fine, or better. This is amply evident on the finely styled Zeus on the reverse. The coin is eminently suitable for jewelry use. ICG graded VF-30.
Estimated Value $125-UP.
