Lot 3165
Two Alexander III Silver Tetradrachms minted at Ake-Ptolemais (Akko). Condition averages About VF; one has moderate pitting. Lot of 2 coins.
Akko is one of the few mints of Alexander to date their coins. Emissions from this mint have a definite place in a Biblical coin collection, as well as in Alexander groupings that show different artistic styles. Phoenician issues can emphasize globular elements and exhibit a roughness and non-yielding portrait of Herakles.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
