Alexander the Great III

Drachm

Fine Condition (with Test Cut)

Ancient Roman

Silver Coin

Weighs 4.03 grams

See photo for measurement (appx. 5 or 6/8ths of an inch).

Coin minting during this time was hardly an exact science. Blank sizes and weights varied. Some coins were made posthumously by Diadochi and those also vary.

I've done a silver test on the coin in question and it is a high purity of silver (acid test turned bright red). This also means it has a mark on it's edge from the test.

It was also tested with a professional grade metal detector.
