Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Alexander the Great's father, King Philip II, on the obverse (front side), indicating that it was issued during Alexander's reign, but before his death in 323 BC. This suggests that the coin may have been minted as a way to promote Alexander's legacy and reinforce his claim to the throne.
