MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Time of Philip II to Alexander III (the Great), ca. 340/36-328 B.C. AV 1/12 Stater (0.88 gms), Pella Mint. NGC Ch F, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. HGC-3.1, Unlisted; Le Rider-Unlisted. Obverse: Head of Apollo right; Reverse: Kantharos. An <strong>EXTREMELY RARE</strong>, highly unusual, and possibly <strong>UNIQUE </strong>specimen, this example doesnt fit with other known types within the fractional series of gold issues that spanned the late reign of Philip II and the early reign of Alexander III. A tremendous opportunity for the specialist in the coinage of Alexander, that of Macedon, or ancient gold more broadly. Includes an NGC photo certificate in lieu of slabbing. Ex: George & Robert Stevenson Collection (Classical Numismatic Group XXVI - 6/1993) Lot # 62.
