Alexander III Drachm identification - A under Zeus (Price 2968?) [opgelost]

1 bericht • 107 keer bekeken
Hello,

I'm trying to catalogue a recent acquisition. It's an Alexander The Great drachm verified by NGC as lifetime-early posthumous. There does not appear to be any monogram left of Zeus, but an Ä (A with two dots above a.k.a Latin A diaeresis) appears under the throne. Perhaps I'm misinterpreting the dots as belonging to the monogram rather than the throne and it's just an A. Here's the NGC page with photos. I'll include my own below.

I found two Phillip III drachms with a A under the throne (none with an Ä). This coin has a monogram ΠΑ not present on mine. Another (Price 2968) has no monogram to the left but the throne, figure, and obverse look very different. That's as close as I found on numista.

I then found a great website for anyone identifying Alexander coinage - PELLA. There are several monograms similar to A, but searching for A under throne the following all look similar: Price 2651, P123, 2968. The page shows several different dies for 2968, leading me to conclude that mine is in fact a 2968 from a different die. Can anyone more knowledgeable confirm?



Thanks for your help!
