Description
Alexander the Great & Horse Punic Tetradrachm Greek REPLICA REPRODUCTION COIN.
Alexander the Great Siculo-Punic Tetradrachms (336-323 B.C.)
Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia, Ruler of the known World in 323 BC.
One of the Most Brilliant Military Strategists and Son of Phillip II.
Alexander the Great Siculo-Punic Tetradrachms (336-323 B.C.) Size 27 mm. Obverse: The head of young Alexander. Reverse: The Neck and Head of a Horse with small palm tree in the field behind.
The last of the Siculo-Punic tetradrachms – the new obverse type is the head of young Heracles wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion, which must have been borrowed from the silver tetradrachms of the Macedonian King Alexander III “the Great” (r. 336-323 B.C.). Later, the horse-and-palm reverse was transformed to show only the head and neck of the horse with a comparatively small palm tree in the field behind.
