Description
This magnificent gold Distater, minted during the reign of Alexander the Great, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient Kingdom of Macedon. Struck with remarkable craftsmanship, this coin holds approximately 17.18 grams of pure gold. On the obverse side, you'll find the striking image of the Greek goddess Athena, a symbol of wisdom and strategic warfare. This portrayal, combined with the coin's historical context, transports collectors back to the times when Alexander's empire was at the zenith of its power.
Flipping to the reverse, the graceful figure of Nike, the goddess of victory, stands as a testament to Alexander's remarkable achievements. This coin, struck during his lifetime or in the early posthumous period, not only signifies a fascinating piece of numismatic history but also the enduring legacy of one of history's most celebrated figures.
