KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 17.21 g, 12h). Babylon mint. Struck under Stamenes or Archon, circa 324/3 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; bee in left field; below throne, monogram above M. Price 3620a. Good VF, minor die wear on obverse.


The entry for Price 3620 notes a strut on the throne separating the monogram and letter M, but not all examples have this feature. In fact, Price illustrates two examples, one with (3620b) and one without (3620a) the strut.
