Interesting fact
The coin features the image of a youthful Alexander the Great, who was only 16 years old when he succeeded his father Philip II as king of Macedon. Despite his young age, Alexander would go on to become one of the greatest military leaders in history, conquering a vast portion of the known world and spreading Greek culture and language throughout his empire.
