<p>[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 8081158, member: 96635"]Very interesting you mention this. Indeed Alexander minted in Italy both silver and bronze coinage. No silver coinage from him is known to have minted outside of Italy. Bronze coinage however do was minted in Epeiros. They were in the same types as the coinage of the Molossi, with the shield on the obverse and the wreathed thunderbolt on the reverse. The only difference is that on the obverse it is written in the name of Alexander, instead of in the name of the ΜΟΛΟΣΣΩΝ. I am however unaware of coinage struck by Kleopatra. The coinage in the name of the Molossi was struck until 330/325 BC, which includes the rule of Kleopatra, I think that is the closest you will get.</p><p>Epeirote coinage is tough to get, it seems to be struck in only small quantities and rarely offered on the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
