History

Known for his military tactics and fierce ambition, Alexander the Great remains one of the most heralded kings of all time. His military campaign across Egypt and Western Asia is the stuff of legend and remains a popular topic of study not just for historians, but military strategists as well. During Alexanders time, the tetradrachm was a prominent form of coinage in his native Greece. However, as his influence spread east, the coin became known throughout Asian regions, where it was adopted as a trade unit.
