Kings of Macedonia. Time of Philip III – Antigonos I Monophthalmos. Æ Circa 323-310 BC. Uncertain mint in Western Asia Minor. In the types of Alexander III

This ancient Æ coin from the Kings of Macedonia dates to the period around 323-310 BC, during the tumultuous era following Alexander the Great’s death. It is from the time of Philip III and Antigonos I Monophthalmos, key figures in the Macedonian Wars of the Diadochi (successor wars). The coin’s design follows the types established under Alexander III, often featuring his portrait or symbolic imagery associated with his reign, which was common for successor kingdoms asserting continuity and legitimacy. The uncertain mint in Western Asia Minor reflects the fragmented political landscape, where various rulers controlled former territories of Alexander’s empire. Such coins are significant for understanding the numismatic and political history of ancient Macedonia and the Hellenistic period.
