The silver tetradrachm was the dominant large-denomination coin of the ancient Greek world, and the Macedonian kingdom produced some of the most influential and widely circulated examples in antiquity. Struck at approximately 17 grams of high-quality silver, these coins were essential instruments of royal finance, used to pay armies, fund monumental building projects, and project political authority across an expanding sphere of influence. This piece earned a Very Fine designation from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Today, Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Tetradrachm Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Macedonian tetradrachms are typically distinguished by their bold, high-relief portraiture and confident artistic execution, reflecting a royal minting tradition that prioritized visual power and dynastic identity alongside practical commercial function. Many of the coins issued by the Kingdom of Macedonia in this design style were posthumously issued after the death of Alexander the Great.
All Kingdom of Macedon Alexander III AR Tetradrachm Coins available here come in Very Fine condition. The average VF coin will show light to medium wear throughout, with the primary details still visible.
The obverse of the Alexander III AR Tetradrachm features the iconic right-profile bust of the demi-god Hercules. This portrait shows Hercules with a lion skin draped over his head. On the reverse of the Kingdom of Macedon AR Tetradrachm, the design element features an enthroned depiction of the deity Zeus, the king of the gods.
