Alexander III of Macedon conquered a vast empire in just 13 years. Educated by Aristotle, he mastered both military strategy and the arts. By age 32, he ruled Greece, Egypt, Persia, and Asia.

His silver coins, featuring Heracles and Zeus, symbolized his power and were widely recognized across the empire. These coins continued to be minted for over two centuries after his death, with over 4,000 different mint symbols. This coin was handset in a 14kt Gold Pendant.
