The silver tetradrachms of the Kingdom of Paeonia rank among the most intriguing historically and respected numismatically of the ancient Balkan world. These coins were struck by a kingdom situated along the upper Axios River valley in present-day northern Macedonia, where its rulers established and maintained an advanced tradition of royal coinage that reflected the region’s political and economic significance. This Paeonian Silver Tetradrachm from the reign of Patraus is in Extremely Fine condition according to the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with 4/5 grades for its strike and surface qualities. Today, Kingdom of Paeonia Patraus AR Tetradrachm Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The tetradrachms of Patraus, struck between approximately 335 and 315 BC, were produced during the extraordinary decades of Alexander the Great’s conquest of the Persian Empire and the chaotic Wars of the Diadochi that followed his death, a period during which the political map of the ancient world was redrawn with breathtaking speed and violence. Patraus managed to maintain Paeonians royal coinage production throughout this period of maximal instability, and his tetradrachms are particularly celebrated among collectors for the exceptional quality of their portraiture.
This Kingdom of Paeonia Patraus AR Tetradrachm Coin comes in Extremely Fine condition with crisp details present and attractive surfaces. The coin features 4/5 grades for both strike and surface, indicating a specimen with above-average strike quality and boldness, as well as minimal signs of wear and toning.
On the obverse of Paeonian Patraus Silver Tetradrachms, you will find a right-profile bust of the deity Apollo. This design maintains the Hellenistic style of coin design for the region during this era. The reverse of Kingdom of Paeonia Patraus AR Tetradrachm Coins comes with a left-profile image of a cavalryman on horseback as he spears an enemy combatant.
