KINGS of MACEDON. temp. Alexander III – Seleukos I. Circa 324/3-300 BC. AR Drachm (17mm, 3.59 g, 12h). In the types of Alexander III. Uncertain mint. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin; c/m: head of Apollo(?) right, KAΛ below, within incuse circle / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; [control marks in field(s)]. Cf. Marinescu Appendix 4, p. 480, 5 = M. Thompson, "A Countermarked Coin from Büyükçekmece" in MN VI (1954), pp. 25–6 = AMNG I p. 100, 216 (head of Athena). Toned. Coin: Near Fine; countermark: VF. Extremely rare countermark. The countermarked coin cited by Marinescu, Thompson, and AMNG is an Alexander type drachm that was in the collection of Imhoof-Blumer. This coin is not currently published, so it is not possible to confirm the description by Pick of the head being that of Athena. All other countermarks of Kalchedon bear the head of Apollo, which seems to be the head visible on the present specimen, so it is possible that the identification of Athena by Pick (in AMNG) was incorrect. Neither Marinescu, nor Thompson, saw the coin. Interestingly, Price does not mention this countermark type in his discussion of the countermarks used on the Alexander coinage.

XXIII, 1–3'; Kroll 8; HGC 4, 1597. Lightly toned, minor edge splits, some minor marks on obverse. Good VF. Well struck. Early post-454 issue. The certain elements of the style of this tetradrachm, particularly the palmette on Athena's helmet and the stance of the owl, suggest that this coin was among the earliest issues in the ubiquitous "frontal eye"/classical tetradrachms of the mid-late 5th century at Athens, as these features more closely resemble those found on the later groups of early-mid 5th century issues analyzed by Chester Starr.
