Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Terone (Macedon) features an image of a youthful Alexander the Great on the obverse side, which is quite rare as most coins from that time period depicted gods or goddesses. This suggests that the coin may have been minted during Alexander's lifetime or shortly after his death, and it could be an early representation of him as a young man.
