Thompson, Abydos 171.
Interesting fact
The Stater coin of Philip III Arrhidaeus (Abydos) was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Macedonia. Philip III was the son of Alexander the Great's half-brother, Philip II, and he ascended to the throne after the death of his father in 323 BC. However, his reign was marked by power struggles and conflicts with other Diadochi (successors of Alexander the Great), which ultimately led to his death in 317 BC. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of Philip III, including the Stater coin, remained consistent with the high standards set by his predecessors, featuring elegant designs and a high level of craftsmanship.
