The ONLY coin portrait of the father of Alexander the Great to survive antiquity – a great rarity! You’ve
seen plenty of tetradrachms of Philip of Macedon and Alexander the Great and are familiar with their
standard portraits and designs – this is something completely different and far more sophisticated!
Here is a unique opportunity to own spectacular reproduction of one of the most impressive ancient
coinage masterpieces. This is an AUTHENTIC COPY REPLICA of medallions which the Roman
Empire awarded at the games and contests held in the cities of Macedonia, in honor of Alexander the
Great and his father Philip of Macedon in 230 AD.
The original coin is in gold and is property of Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris - NOTE THAT
THERE IS ONLY ONE SUCH COIN IN THE WORLD (unlike Philip's tetradrachm which are plentiful
and do not bear his portrait but Zeus' instead) – this is an AUTHENTIC REPRODUCTION of that
single original and is marked with the logo of the owner BnF. See the original gold coin here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Philip_II_of_Macedon_CdM.jpg
Because the original coin in Paris is priceless - this reproduction is most special and unique among
all reproductions of ancient coins. All other reproductions came from coins which have known value.
Obverse: Diademed head of Philip of Macedon wearing Macedonian military armor cuirass - struck in
high relief.
Reverse: ΒΑCΙΛΕΩC AΛEXANΔPOΥ. Winged Nike on a biga driven by four horses.
Diameter: 2.5” (65 mm)
Made of Silver 905
Struck on a large flan, well centered in an excessively high relief – beautiful portrait masterpiece!
Please also view the other 4 SILVER AND SILVER GOLD PLATED medallions we offer with the
portraits of Alexander the Great, Olympias and Athena.
We also carry an authentic genuine ancient Greek coins - Our collection includes coins of the kings of
Macedon, the Seleucid kings, the Ptolemaic kings, the Bactrian kings, kings of Thrace, kings of
Pergamon – visit our “Genuine Coins” listings
