Dramma di Alessandro senza simboli Price 2974.

Alexander III The Great AR Drachm. Pamphylia, Side Mint 323-317 BC. Obverse: Head of Herakles right wearing lion skin headdress. Reverse: ALEXANDROY, Zeus enthroned left, eagle in right, scepter in left, right leg drawn back, no symbols. Price: 2974 RARE. Size: 17mm, 3.72g. Numismatic Notes: Good VF. Although not definitely so, this coin appears to be that of the rare Price 2974, with no field marking variety. It is off center on the reverse, so the left field is not visible, however, if there were a field marking there, it is more likely than not to show up partially along the edge, but it does not.

All four of the coins referenced by Price exhibit widely varying styles, such that they probably are not issues from a single mint.

Dramma di Seleuco I non pubblicata senza simboli (CNG, Mail Bid Sale 63).

SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Seleukos I. 312-280 BC. AR Drachm (3.88 gm). Carrhae(?) mint.
Estimate $300
SELEUKID KINGS of SYRIA. Seleukos I. 312-280 BC. AR Drachm (3.88 gm). Carrhae(?) mint. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress / BASILEWS left, [SELEUKOU] right, Zeus seated left, holding eagle and sceptre; no symbols. Cf. SC 43 (Tetradrachm); cf. Newell, WSM 777 (Tetradrachm). Superb EF, exceptional style. Apparently unpublished as a drachm. ($300)
Ex Italo Vecchi 16 (9 October 1999), lot 116.
Although the name is off the flan, the anomalous orientation of the royal title is unknown on any other Alexander-type tetradrachm or drachm, save for the tetradrachm of Seleukos I attributed (tentatively) to Carrhae. In addition to the orientation of the royal title our coin shares similar features which are salient for the tetradrachm: the backless throne, the absence of any control marks, and a faint dotted reverse border. Houghton speculates that it is possible that the obverse die of the tetradrachm (die-linked to certain Carrhae tetradrachms) was transferred to a new mint, as the reverse is so stylistically different. The discovery of this drachm lends credence to this possibility, as the obverse style is different from that typically found on drachms at Carrhae.

R/ aquila a dx., testa all’indietro, su fulmine; nel campo a sx. un rametto d’olivo; nel campo a dx. un copricapo da satrapo.

[apollonia]

Secondo il Price, i due stateri potrebbero appartenere a una zecca separata oppure alla zecca di Ege (gr. Aἰγαί) di Macedonia, antica città capitale dei Macedoni e tradizionale luogo di sepoltura dei loro re, per l’aquila con la testa all'indietro caratteristica della prima monetazione di Aminta III e Perdicca III.

Esemplare Price 143 battuto alla Triton XXIV del 19 gennaio 2021.

KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great'. 336-323 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 14.33 g, 9h). “Light Thraco-Macedonian” standard. Uncertain mint in Macedon. Struck circa 336-334 BC(?). Head of Zeus right, wearing laurel wreath / AΛEΞAN-ΔPOY, eagle, with closed wings, standing right, head left, on thunderbolt; club to left, satrapal headdress to right. Price 143; Wartenberg 4 = Pegan 5 = Traité IV 909, pl. CCCXI, 17 = MG 19, pl. D, 8 (same obv. die); Wartenberg 5 = Pegan 4 = SNG Saroglos 183 = J. Hirsch XXV, lot 504 = Egger XL [Prowe], lot 575. Toned, a few minor marks. VF. Extremely rare, one of only three known with club symbol, only the BN example (Pegan 5) in Pella, only the Saroglos coin in the ANS photofile, none in CoinArchives, nor the Thessaly, 1992 hoard (Wartenberg). It is also only one of nine Alexander-Eagle tetradrachms known, of which seven are in public collections.

The rare Alexander Eagle tetradrachms are possibly the earliest coinage in the name of Alexander, struck on the same weight standard as the tetradrachms of his father, Philip II. These coins are unrelated to the later eagle type drachms, which were struck on the Attic standard. The obverse type continues the head of Zeus that was the standard type on his father’s tetradrachms, while the reverse features an eagle with folded wings, looking back, a type that had been used on reverses of coins issued by Philip’s predecessors, Amyntas III and Perdikkas III. This coinage was first reviewed by Pegan, who placed them in Macedon at the beginning of Alexander’s reign. Based on his understanding of the relative chronology of the issues of Alexander’s early reign, Price rejected Pegan’s analysis, and placed these later in the reign. Unfortunately, Price could not persuasively argue for their placement at any mint, nor at any time of issue; he admits that their listing alongside the eagle drachms was merely “for convenience.” In his 2003 survey of Alexander’s coinage and finances, Le Rider reevaluated the evidence, and though he admits it is not conclusive, the evidence suggests that placing them at the beginning of Alexander’s reign is probably correct (Le Rider, Alexander, pp. 32–7).

 

La moneta, denominata qui tetradramma nello standard ponderale tracio-macedone leggero, è stata aggiudicata a un hammer di $ 34 000 dalla stima iniziale di $ 25 000.
