Lot # 94 - KINGS OF MACEDON. Philip II (359-336 BC). GOLD Stater. Pella. Obv: Laureate head of Apollo right.Rev: ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ. Charioteer driving biga right. Controls: Below horses, trident head right.Le Rider 326 (D148/R249); SNG ANS 144-54.In the Classical period throughout Greece silver coinage predominated, while gold was minted by a few cities. In Asia Minor electrum coins were still struck in three mints (Kyzikos, Mytilene and Phokaia) until the Athenian hegemony that followed the victory over the Persians. In 405 BC the issue of Lampsakos gold staters based on the Persian weight system began. Athens produced the first and only precious metal issues toward the end of the Peloponnesian War, in 407-6 BC, at a time of severe crisis when silver mining in Laurion began to fail and it was forced to melt down the Parthenon's gold statues. Aside from these cases, the first important and massive gold coinage in the Greek context was that of Philip II of Macedon. He minted abundant series of coins in several mints. Having conquered the city of Krenides, where the Thasians had already exploited gold mines, Philip renamed the city Philippi and started the production of philippéioi, gold staters weighing two Attic drachms. Apollo's youthful head appears on the obverse, a galloping chariot on the reverse, types glorifying the Macedonian ruler who had triumphed at the Olympian Games in 356 BC. The series also includes fractions. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 8.61 g. Diameter: 19 mm.

Lot # 101 - KINGS OF MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great' (336-323 BC). GOLD Stater. Amphipolis. Possibly lifetime issue. Obv: Head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet decorated with serpent.Rev: AΛEΞANΔPOY. Nike standing left, holding wreath and stylis Control: Kantharos in left field.Price 168.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 Staters 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.

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.

Lot # 121 - 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: AΛEΞANΔPOY. 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 Staters 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.
