This precious silver coin bears witness to some of the most iconic moments in classical antiquity. Due to the lack of succession planning, after Alexander’s sudden death in 323 BC, the Diadochi fought for nearly half a century over the vast empire and his legacy was the ultimate source of legitimacy. Perdiccas, Regent of the Empire, initially had possession of Alexander’s body, later hijacked by Ptolemy I Soter, who was the first to put Alexander’s image on coinage. This coinwas minted under the reign of Lysimachus, King of Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedon.
