Forged in the fiery workshops of ancient Macedon between 336 and 323 BC, this gold stater embodies the unyielding ambition of Alexander III. Struck from pure electrum-like gold, it weighs a substantial 8.56 grams, its flan a perfect circle of 18 millimeters, radiating the luster of untouched antiquity.
On the obverse, a finely detailed head of Athena faces right, clad in a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent and intricate griffin motifs. The goddess's portrait, rendered with dynamic curls and piercing gaze, symbolizes wisdom and warfare—core to Alexander's ethos.
Graded Almost Uncirculated by NGC Ancients, this stater gleams with minimal wear, its surfaces alive with golden hues that whisper of campaigns across empires. Untarnished by time's harshest touch, it stands as a tactile relic, inviting fingers to trace the lion's whiskers and Zeus's throne, bridging the mortal coil to Olympian eternity in a single, sovereign coin.
