EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable Stater of Philip II, the renowned King of Macedonia from 382-336 BC. The coin features an exquisite effigy of Apollo, the Greek god associated with music, poetry, and prophecy. Crafted by the skilled hands of a Greek School artist in the 4th century BC, this golden masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. Philip II was not only a powerful ruler but also the father of one of history's most legendary figures - Alexander the Great. This ancient artifact serves as a tangible link to their remarkable lineage and accomplishments. The stately portrait on this coin depicts Philip II wearing a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and honor. It is fascinating to imagine how many hands this currency passed through during its time as legal tender in ancient Macedonia. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years to witness an era where artistry met commerce. Let us marvel at both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this small piece of metal – a testament to human creativity and ambition that transcends time itself.
