Zecca di Babilonia: Obolo di Alessandro Cf. Price 3606 (esemplare CNG 212).

KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. AR Obol (9mm, 0.68 g, 1h). ‘Babylon’(?) mint. Lifetime issue, circa 325-323 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; controls off the flan. Cf. Price 3606. VF, toned, porous.

From the D. Alighieri Collection.
As the control marks are of the flan, the attribution to Babylon is based on the similarity of style between this coin and Price 3606, dated 325-323 BC. Obols were, however, minted widely in the East, making such an attribution tentative.

[batida]

Buonasera apollonia,

ho da poco comprato una riproduzione di una moneta di Alessandro di cui allego foto del dritto e del rovescio.

non essendo un esperto di monete antiche ho setacciato tutta la discussione e ho trovato al post N° 1559 dell'8 Dicembre 2013 (link: https://www.lamoneta.it/topic/84573-le-monete-pi%C3%B9-attraenti-di-alessandro-magno/page/63/) le foto di una riproduzione da te postata con cui ravvedo una forte corrispondenza con le seguenti tre eccezioni:

1) La tua riproduzione (Price N° 1926) è una dramma mentre la mia sembra più una didramma (peso gr. 7,60);

2) Nella mia riproduzione non ritrovo le iniziali dell'incisore (Peter Sousek) sotto la cornice;

3) Nella mia riproduzione non ritrovo la "S" sotto il sedile di Zeus;

Ti ringrazio di qualsiasi input o informazione tu mi possa fornire su questa riproduzione di cui non so esattamente nulla. L'ho acquistata pagandola relativamente poco perchè sono affascinato dal personaggio, ma ho voluto stare un poco attento al portafoglio.  

saluti,

batida

Buonasera batida,

la riproduzione della dramma al link da te richiamato proveniva da antiquanova, che attualmente ne riporta una simile (v. http://www.antiquanova.com/Alexander-the-Great-Drachm-Greece-posthumous-issue-fine-silver-replica-coin-d98.htm )

fine silver | 18 mm | 4.3 g

OBV: Hd. of young Herakles r. clad in lion's skin. 
R: Zeus seated l. on throne holding eagle and scepter. On r. AΛEXANDROY. Beneath throne ram's head below eagle L and monogram PS.

Penso che la tua moneta sia una brutta riproduzione inesistente come peso, dato che non ci sono didrammi corrispondenti alla dramma Price 1921 della zecca di Magnesia, alla quale può essere associata la riproduzione ‘ufficiale’. Il fatto che si tratti di una moneta di fantasia è dimostrato dall’iscrizione del nome del sovrano, che non ha nulla a che vedere con il genitivo greco ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (di Alessandro, sottinteso moneta).

 

[batida]

Eh.... che non faccia risplendere le gesta del condottiero me ne ero effettivamente accorto... grazie della tua dettagliata risposta.

18 ore fa, batida dice:

Eh.... che non faccia risplendere le gesta del condottiero me ne ero effettivamente accorto... grazie della tua dettagliata risposta. 

Di nulla.
