MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Philip III, 323-317 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.14 gms), Pella Mint, ca. 323-318/7 B.C. NGC MS, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5. Pr-206. Struck in the name and types of Alexander III (the Great). Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin; Reverse: Zeus seated left on throne, holding eagle and scepter; in left field, bee right on rose.
