Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features the image of Alexander the Great, who was the king of Macedonia from 336 BC until his death in 323 BC. The reverse of the coin depicts a seated Zeus, who was the king of the gods in Greek mythology. This coin was minted during Alexander's reign, and it's interesting to note that Alexander's image was not featured on coins during his lifetime. Instead, his successors, including his half-brother Philip III, were the ones who minted coins with Alexander's image after his death. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during Alexander's reign and features his image.
