[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 5294310, member: 80952"]Hello ladies and gentlemen, I have this drachm [ATTACH=full]1222481[/ATTACH] Described by the auction house just with these details: "Kings of Macedon. Kolophon (?). Alexander III "the Great" 336-323 BC. Drachm AR 17 mm., 3,75 g." I wanted to add in my albums some iconic Greek types and this one is OK but I want to attribute it correctly. I had a discussion with [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER] who was very helpful, but I cannot pinpoint an exact attribution. Is this possible or is the drachm too worn? I knew there are many variants but I wasn't expecting so many. From what I read, this coin, being the version with crossed legs, indicates a posthumous issue. I cannot see any symbol under the chair and I don't know what symbol is near the knee. Is there a resource (except wildwinds) to help in narrowing down the attribution? Many thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
