Philip III Arrhidaeus Silver Drachm
This Exact Ancient Coin • Your Choice of Handcrafted Setting
Although struck in the name of Philip III Arrhidaeus, this coin belongs to the famous Alexander the Great coinage. Following Alexander's death in 323 BC, his successors continued minting coins using his iconic designs. Only the royal name changed, while the celebrated imagery remained the same and continued to circulate throughout the ancient Greek world.
The obverse depicts Herakles wearing the lion skin of the Nemean Lion, a portrait closely associated with Alexander's coinage. The reverse features Zeus, king of the gods, seated with eagle and sceptre, one of the most recognizable and enduring designs of ancient Greek coinage.
This silver drachm is more than 2,300 years old and offers a direct connection to the remarkable legacy of Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic world that followed.
