Lot # 124 - KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great' (336-323 BC). GOLD Stater. Uncertain mint in western Asia Minor. Lifetime issue. Obv: Head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet decorated with serpent.Rev: AΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ. Nike standing left, holding wreath and stylis Control: to lower left, eagle standing left with closed wings.Price 3125 (Salamis).Already with Philip II the occupation of the Mount Pangaion region with its rich gold mines had made possible the abundant emission of gold coins, something that until then had been throughout Greece rather rare and linked to extraordinary circumstances or moments of crisis. Alexander, who imposed a single coinage throughout his vast empire, was able to issue States and their fractions in gold, using the Attic weight as the unit of measure. On the Staters the head of the goddess Athena with Corinthian helmet was depicted on the obverse, while a winged Nike was reproduced on the reverse. On silver tetradrachms, on the other hand, the head of Herakles with lion skin was depicted on the obverse and Zeus seated on a throne on the reverse (Phidian model). Toward the end of his reign there is an assimilation of the ruler with Herakles. The practice, derived from the Eastern world of reproducing the portrait of the ruler on the coin, represents a change with Alexander's coinage. But as if the human figure did not dare to suddenly replace that of the gods, the image is clothed with religious content, through its deification or identification with the deity. Even after his death for a long time Tetradrachms with the effigy of Alexander continued to be issued by his successors. The Macedonian king had the possibility to exploit for his coinage a large amount of precious metal from the vast empire he had conquered. The extremely rich mines scattered throughout this territory also made his successors self-sufficient.. The coin from that time became a symbol of the ruler's power and absolute authority; no longer protected by the image of deities, it became an instrument of propaganda and power.

Roman Embassy Issue
Lot # 142 - MACEDON UNDER ROMAN PROTECTORATE. Roman Embassy (Circa 148-147 BC). Tetradrachm. Amphipolis or Thessalonica. Obv: Diademed and draped bust of Artemis right, with bow and quiver over shoulder; all in centre of Macedonian shield.Rev: LEG / MAKEΔONΩN. Club; above, hand holding olive branch left; all within oak wreath, thunderbolt to outer left.MacKay, Macedonian, Series 1, 3c; AMNG III/1 194.This tetradrachm was struck following Andriskos' attempt to restore the Macedonian kingdom. Born into a humble family, he exploited his resemblance to King Perseus to impersonate his illegitimate son and lay claim to the kingdom. Andriskos was initially in the pay of Demetrios I of Syria, from whom he hoped to receive support to conquer Macedonia, but he was handed over to the Romans in 153. He managed to escape to Miletos and was helped by Callippa, a former concubine of Perseus, who gave him the royal insignia and money. Thanks to this help, Andriskos organized a small army in Thrace and crossed into Macedonia, where he seized the Strymon Valley in 149 and was well received by the lower classes of the population. He was crowned king and chose Pella as his capital. After the Carthaginians offered Andriskos money and ships, the Romans sent an embassy headed by P. Cornelius Scipio Nasica, followed by two legions led by the praetor Q. Caecilius Metellus. The latter succeeded in defeating Andriskos and brought him to Rome, celebrating his triumph. The Roman embassy (legatio) is commemorated on this coin with the addition of a hand holding a branch, symbolizing the peace offered to Macedonia, which from that moment became a Roman province.
