Obverse

The Argentia logo and round hallmarks are located on the obverse of 5 oz Antique Alexander the Great Silver Rounds. There is also a stylish background pattern of circles and lines. The brand logo consists of a triangular design with the word ARGENTIA inscribed below it. The hallmarks are shown beneath this and read 5 OZ FINE SILVER .9999.

Reverse

A portrait of the mythological hero Herakles is found on the reverse of 5 oz Argentia Alexander the Great Silver Rounds. Here, we see Herakles facing right in a simple, neo-classical design. This heroic character is considered the Greek equivalent of Romes Hercules.

History

Still popular with collectors today, the tetradrachm was a coin of Ancient Greece used from about 525 BC until 38 BC. Thanks to the conquests of Alexander the Great, the tetradrachm eventually spread to other city-states outside of Greece, where it became a popular unit of trade. The tetradrachm features some of the earliest great coin designs, many of which were created to deliver political messages or to promote various public figures.
