The drachm was a key component of Greek currency throughout the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Whereas the tetradrachm is familiar to collectors due to its widespread use in military payments in antiquity, the smaller drachm was closer in value to a modern US nickel. It was primarily used for everyday transactions while maintaining the same well-known designs seen on its larger counterpart. This Alexander III AR Drachm is an About Uncirculated piece, as graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Today, the Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Drachm is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Within Macedonia itself, the drachm functioned as a practical medium of everyday commercial exchange, bridging the gap between the smaller bronze coins used for minor transactions and the larger silver tetradrachms reserved for significant financial dealings. Markets, craftsmen, and merchants conducting routine trade in Macedonian towns and military encampments would have relied on drachms as a convenient and trusted unit of value.
This Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Drachm is in AU condition and comes with an impressive 5/5 strike grade. This grade indicates the features strongly struck design elements that are well-centered within the design field. The 4/5 surface grade indicates a coin with above-average luster and light signs of wear from circulation.
The obverse of the Alexander III AR Drachm features a right-facing portrait of Hercules, depicted with a lion skin draped over his head. The reverse of the Kingdom of Macedon AR Drachm shows Zeus seated on a throne, symbolizing the supreme deity of the Greek gods.
