HISTORY
The tetradrachm of Alexander III is prized for its artistry and historical value. The obverse depicts Herakles, wearing the Nemean lion's skin—a symbol of strength and bravery, referencing his first labor in Greek mythology.
On the reverse, the coin showcases the supreme god Zeus, the father of Herakles. Zeus is majestically seated on his throne, holding a scepter in one hand and an eagle in the other, embodying his role as the king of the gods.
While some suggest that the image of Herakles might actually represent Alexander, reflecting his view of himself as a godlike figure, this interpretation highlights the strong connection Alexander felt with divine status.
Alexander the Great, born in 356 B.C., was one of history's most accomplished military leaders. By the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to Egypt and into northwest India. His key accomplishments include the decisive victory at the Battle of Issus in 333 B.C., where he defeated the Persian king Darius III, and the founding of over 20 cities, the most famous being Alexandria in Egypt, which became a major center of Hellenistic culture.
The tetradrachm, nominally equivalent to four drachmae, was a significant coin in ancient Greek commerce. Issued during Alexander’s reign and beyond, these coins facilitated trade across his vast empire and helped spread Greek culture. Today, the Alexander the Great tetradrachm is celebrated not only for its historical context but also for its exquisite craftsmanship, making it a valuable piece for collectors and a testament to the legacy of one of history's most legendary figures.
