The silver tetradrachm of Alabanda is a coin of considerable historical and artistic significance, produced by one of the important cities of ancient Caria in southwestern Anatolia during the complex political transition that followed the conclusion of the Roman-Syrian War and the reorganization of the Greek east under Roman influence. This Alabandan AR Tetradrachm earned a Choice Very Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with an impressive 5/5 strike grade as well. Today, Caria Alabanda AR Tetradrachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The tetradrachms of Alabanda produced between approximately 197 and 188 BC were struck during the transitional decade that followed Rome’s decisive victory over the Seleucid king Antiochus III at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, a moment that fundamentally reshaped the political landscape of the Greek east and established Roman hegemony over the Hellenistic world as an inescapable reality.
This Caria Alabanda AR Tetradrachm holds a Choice Very Fine grade with an impressive 5/5 strike grade, as well as a solid 3/5 surface grade. Coins with a 5/5 strike showcase strongly struck, well-centered designs with crisp detail still visible. The 3/5 surface grade indicates a modest amount of wear and tear for a coin of this age.
The obverse of the Alabandan AR Tetradrachm Silver Coin comes with an image of the deity Apollo. In this design, the god is depicted with the idealized, serene beauty characteristic of Hellenistic portraiture at its most refined, his youthful features and flowing hair. On the reverse of Caria Alabanda AR Tetradrachms, you will find the image of the mythical horse known as Pegasus. Coins produced in this brief but historically charged window offer collectors a direct numismatic connection to one of antiquity’s great geopolitical turning points, their silver carrying the weight of a world in the process of profound and permanent transformation.
