Description
The gold stater of Alexander the Great is one of the most emblematic coins of antiquity. Minted during his reign (336–323 BC), this coin features on the obverse the head of the goddess Athena, wearing a crested helmet, and on the reverse the figure of Nike (Victory) standing, holding a wreath and a stylis (a flagpole). The inscription “ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ” (of Alexander) appears next to the figure of Nike.
An authentic example of this coin is preserved at the Irpino Museum. This gold stater, with a diameter of 18 mm and a weight of 8.59 grams, clearly shows the head of Athena with a crested helmet decorated with a coiled serpent, and Nike advancing to the left on the reverse.
These coins not only represent the art and culture of the time but also served as propaganda tools to spread the image and authority of Alexander throughout his vast empire.
