Beschrijving voorzijde Beardless head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown with the forepaws knotted at the throat. The youthful facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic detail, the jaw clean-shaven and the eye depicted with a drilled pupil. The field is plain and the design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of the Alexandrine tetradrachm coinage tradition.

Aanvullende informatie

Audoleon was the last significant king of Paeonia, ruling a territory wedged between Macedonia and Thrace at a moment when both neighbors were consumed by the Wars of the Diadochi. Striking in the name of Alexander III was a deliberate political posture — not mere imitation — allowing Paeonian silver to circulate with legitimacy across markets dominated by Macedonian-standard coinage. The mint attribution to either Astibos or Damastion remains genuinely unresolved; the two sites are catalogued together precisely because the die evidence has not yet settled the question.
