| This silver tetradrachm is of superb quality (Extremely Fine Plus) and is a coin of Alexander the Great. This coin is a lifetime issue and was minted circa 326-323 BC. The mint is of the Biblos Mint, Price #3426, and is 17.1 grams. This coin is well centered and is better than most examples from this Asian mint, as the portrait of Alexander on the obverse is very clear and the seated Zeus, seen on the reverse, is a rare type with his foot on the amphora. The Biblos mint was known for trading wine, thus the amphora symbol. A superb, beautiful coin that is a rare type. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | |||||
