Macedonian Kingdom. Philip II, 359-336 BC. Silver Tetradrachm (14.38g). Laureate head of Zeus right. Reverse ΦIΛIΠ-ΠOY, youth on horseback right, crowning horse with palm. Kostial -; CCCBM I -; OTA -. Cf. Le Rider Amphipolis III, plate 45,5. Nearly Extremely Fine. Possibly an early Celtic imitation of a Philip II tetradrachm, the obverse of which compares stylistically to the first issue of Pella (cf. Le Rider grp. IA, especially nos. 1-4 and obv. die D2) and also of Amphipolis. In addition, this coin shares a very similar monogram on the reverse, not repeated elsewhere on Philip's silver coinage. The reverse, however, copies the later tetradrachms of Philip II with youth on horseback. Estimated Value $700 - 800 Categories: Ancient Greek Coinage
