I’ve had a couple of big (posthumous) tetradrachms of Alexander III (aka “The Great”), but sold them and haven’t gotten around to getting another. This smaller drachm is one struck during his lifetime. I essentially got it for free by buying it in a lot with three other coins, for a really good price.
