Kings of Macedonia. Philip III, Arrhidaios (323-317 BC). Drachm Magnesia ad Maeandrum 323-319 BC. In the types of Alexander III

This Drachm coin originates from Magnesia ad Maeandrum, an ancient city in Asia Minor, dating between 323 and 319 BC. It belongs to the early Hellenistic period under Philip III Arrhidaios, Alexander the Great's half-brother, who nominally reigned after Alexander's death. The coin follows the iconographic types of Alexander III, a common practice to signify legitimacy and continuity in a politically fragmented era. Drachms were silver coins widely used for trade and payments, especially in Greek-influenced regions. Coins like this provide insight into regional minting practices, political shifts post-Alexander, and cultural continuities within successor states.
