    Reposting in hopes someone can tell me typology of this coin. It came to me listed as AlexanderIII. I am not sure that is correct. I cannot find a SNG COP 1031 as Alexander….Second post, hope someone knows something about it. Not a valuable coin by any means, but I would like to be sure of attribution. 1EE9FF10-6863-4654-A5C9-97F305099235.jpeg

    I looked for the star and the two letters.

    Here is one where you can read "Kassander" despite the overly-thick sand patina (The K is in a strategic location beneath the horse's tail):

    Macedon - Kassander horse Jan 2021 (0b).jpg

    Macedonia Kingdom Æ 18
    Kassander
    (c. 317-305 B.C.)
    Pella or Amphipolis mint

    Head of Herakles right, wearing lionskin / BAΣIΛEΩΣ KAΣΣANΔΡO[Y] above and below youth on horse right, YΠ? monogram right field, Θ? below.
    Mionnet I, 783 ? (see reverse).
    (5.68 grams / 18 mm)
    eBay Dec. 2020

    Attribution Notes: Monogram right is similar to:
    1. Wildwinds: YΠ monogram in upper right field, Θ below. Mionnet I, 783; Babelon Paris Inventory 1247.

    2. Wildwinds: ΦΛ below horse, SNG Cop 1146 corr.; this looks like monogram to right on mine.
