KINGS of MACEDON. temp. Alexander III – Philip III. Circa 325-320 BC. AR Tetradrachm (24mm, 17.03 g, 12h). Kition mint. Struck under Pumiathon. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left, legs parallel; TK monogram in left field. Price 3108. Fine, lightly toned, some light marks. Possibly a contemporary imitation.


The obverse style of this coin is significantly different from the norm at Kition during this period. That said, it is more similar to issues from Macedon, so perhaps a Macedonian die engraver or his die was transferred to Cyprus?
