Ancient Greece Philip III Drachm issued under Alexander The Great 323BC to 317BC

This coin bears the inscription 'ΑΛΕΞΑΝ∆ΡΟΥ', which refers to Alexander the Great. On one side, the head of Hercules in lion-skin is shown, and on the other, Zeus is seated on a chair holding a scepter and with a bird on his arm.

While bearing Alexander's name, it would have been minted by his half brother, Philip III, due to the mint mark of a palm leaf next to Zeus.
