            MACEDON, Kings of. Alexander III. 336-323 BC. AR 
            Tetradrachm (17.13 gm). Uncertain Phoenician mint. 
            Struck 323-317 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing 
            lion's skin headdress / Zeus seated left, holding 
            eagle and sceptre; Aramaic 'A' under throne. Price 
            3573 (same dies); Müller -. VF. Very rare issue. 

            Newell attributed this variety to Sidon, Year 1 
            (333/332 BC). Price, noting the absence of the 
            Aramaic ‘S’ in the left field and the drawn back 
            right leg of Zeus, concluded that this issue was 
            not from Sidon but was unable to assign a specific 
            mint.
