In the 5th and 4th centuries BC, the drachm played an essential role in the Greek monetary system. Although the tetradrachm is well known to collectors for its role in compensating soldiers across the ancient world, the more modest drachm carried a value similar to a modern US nickel. This coin was commonly used for daily purchases, yet it retained the same iconic imagery present on the larger tetradrachm. This AR Drachm is available in About Uncirculated condition, according to the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Drachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Drachm is an AU specimen with strong grades for its strike and surface. The 4/5 strike indicates a coin with a strong design strike and good centering for its visuals. The 5/5 surface means the coin has strong, original luster with only minimal signs of wear and tear from handling.
Under Alexander the Great, the drachm adopted the same iconic imagery used on the larger tetradrachm, with the head of Hercules on the obverse and Zeus Aetophoros on the reverse. This created a visually unified coinage across all denominations, reinforcing a coherent message of divine ancestry and royal authority throughout the empire.
The obverse of the Alexander III AR Drachm displays a right-profile bust of Hercules, shown with a lion skin covering his head. On the reverse of the Kingdom of Macedon AR Drachm, Zeus is depicted seated on a throne, signifying his role as the chief god.
