Overview
Obverse features the head of Alexander the Great facing right, wearing the skin of the Nemean Lion. The Greek inscription reads 'ΜΕΓΑΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ' (Alexander the Great) and 'ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ' (King of Macedonians).
Historical significance
This is a modern medallic token commemorating Alexander III of Macedon, one of history's most successful military commanders. While it mimics ancient Drachm or Tetradrachm motifs, it is a souvenir piece often sold at historical sites or as part of a commemorative set rather than an ancient artifact.

$1 - $10 USD
Care & preservation
Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent tarnishing of the metal plating. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this will remove the golden finish. Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprint oils.
