<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7596426, member: 86498"]According to Price the this coinage started circa 325 BC and ended in 310 BC. Troxell places the first issue of tetradrachm minted at the mint of Amphipolis with the title of Basileos after the death of Alexander in 323 BC. However Le Rider has challenged this assumption stating that the title Basileos was initiated no sooner than 322 BC which would make the likelihood of this coinage being produced during Alexander's lifetime rather tenuous. These little coins are most likely posthumous minted during the reigns of Alexander IV Philip III and later. Your coin which is emblazoned with a thunderbolt is list by Hoover under the heading of Alexander IV and would be HGC 956 I had one of these many years ago and this will be the fourth time I have broken my rule. Again this would be one listed by Hoover under Alexander IV HGC 958 <span style="color: #ff0000">THIS IS NO LONGER MY COIN</span> [ATTACH=full]1308309[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
