    Silver Drachm, Kolophon Mint. Nicely centered and good relief. C04CCE77-4915-4130-8110-DFE49F381B6B.jpeg

    Just to mix it up a bit, here are a couple more small Alexanders but not from Colophon (including a Hemidrachm from Babylon & some Celtic imitatives)

    Here is my drachm of Alexander’s half brother and successor, Philip III. My drachm was also produced at the Kolophon mint:
