Description:
This is Alexander III, the Great’s, gold stater featuring Athena, goddess of wisdom and battle. Alexander’s coinage reflects the immense wealth he accumulated during his conquests. For his gold coinage, Alexander chose the universal types that would appeal not only to the Greeks but also throughout his empire. The obverse has the head of Athena wearing a Corinthian helmet. She was the goddess of wisdom, patroness of agriculture, industry and the arts. She guided men through the dangers of war, where victory was gained by prudence, courage and perseverance. The reverse is Nike, the winged goddess of victory. She is usually pictured standing holding a wreath. It was speculated that Alexander gave these coins to his generals that won battles for him. Circa 330 B.C. Framing: 18kt, (4) Diamonds: 0.06 tcw, (4) Emeralds: 0.28 tcw
