The identical forms of the throne, scepter, footstool and other details. The drapery is rendered in a similar manner, the Aramaic inscription of the one and the Greek inscription of the other share the same curve following the dotted border. This evidence indicates the two series of coins were the common product of a single mint.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1230880[/ATTACH] </p><p>KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’, 336-323 BC.
