Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a young Alexander the Great, who was only 16 years old when he succeeded his father Philip II as king of Macedonia. Despite his young age, Alexander went on to conquer a vast portion of the known world, creating one of the largest empires in history. This coin, minted during his reign, is a testament to his enduring legacy and the powerful kingdom he ruled.
