Struck at Amphipolis shortly after the death of Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, this tetradrachm belongs to the early Successor period when Philip’s coinage continued to circulate across the expanding Macedonian world.
The well-preserved tripod control symbol beneath the horse confirms attribution to the late 4th-century Amphipolis series. The coin displays pleasing old cabinet toning and strong classical style.
A historically significant and investment-grade example of foundational Macedonian silver.
