Stater - Demetrius I Poliorcetes

Demetrius I struck these gold staters at Pella following his seizure of the Macedonian throne in 294 BC, a position he held for only six years before his own army defected to Pyrrhus and Lysimachus in 288 BC. The issues dated to 290–289 BC fall squarely within his period of peak Macedonian control, before the coalition against him made his position untenable.

Newell's classification of this type remains the standard reference, with the Jameson and Weber specimens providing the die-linkage evidence used to sequence the series chronologically.
