Estimated Value $15,000 - UP Amongst the most famous of all ancient Greek coins, the decadrachms of Syracuse were struck to finance the military ambitions of the tyrant, Dionysios I, who made Syracuse the most powerful of the western Greek city-states. The master artists Kimon and Euainetos worked at the mint, and both sometimes signed their dies. However, the styles are sufficiently distinct that even on unsigned dies the hand of the engraver can easily be determined. Euainetos's coins were especially regarded in ancient times even as they are today, and served as inspiration for the coinage of a number of other cities throughout the Greek world.

NGC grade Choice XF; Strike: 5/5, Surface: 2/5. Fine Style scratches. Estimated Value $20,000 - UP Among the rarest and most desirable of all ancient Greek coins, the famed decadrachms of Alexander the Great were struck at Babylon from the bullion seized after the city's conquest from the Achaemenid Persians. The types follow the huge emissions of Alexander's tetradrachms, sporting the head of the mighty Herakles wearing his lion's skin on the obverse, and the father of the Olympian pantheon, Zeus, seated on the reverse. There has long been speculation that the portrait of Herakles features the likeness of Alexander himself, but there is no sure evidence that this is the case. There are only twenty or so Alexander decadrachms known to exist, and most of those were discovered in 1973 in what has become known as the 'Babylon Hoard'. The known examples suggest there was at least three separate emissions, and the paucity of remaining pieces suggest that the denomination may have served a ceremonial purpose - perhaps given as presentation pieces to high ranking officers or possibly even to soldiers who had distinguished themselves in the conquest of Persia. Alexander was known for giving largesse, and it is tempting to think that he may have taken a personal role in their distribution. Today these surviving decadrachms are a tangible example of one of the greatest treasures in ancient numismatics. Ex Tareq Hani Collection.
