| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the early Classical style typical of Macedonian royal coinage of the fourth century BC. The god's hair is bound with a laurel wreath, with locks falling loosely behind the neck. The facial features, though worn, display the idealized physiognomy characteristic of Apollonian iconography. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A nude or lightly draped equestrian figure, identified as a royal rider, mounted on a horse walking to the right; the rider raises his right hand in a gesture of greeting or salutation. The composition occupies the central field of the flan, with the Greek royal legend disposed around the type in two columns. The image reflects the characteristic Macedonian iconographic tradition of the mounted king, associating royal authority with equestrian prowess. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Alexander II ruled Macedonia for less than two years before being assassinated by Ptolemy of Aloros at a festival in 368 BC — a murder carried out, according to ancient sources, in full public view during a dance performance. His coinage is correspondingly rare. This fractional issue belongs to a transitional moment in Macedonian monetary history, predating the sweeping monetary reforms his younger brother Philip II would later impose on the kingdom.
