Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 B.C. Bronze. About Very Fine.

Everyone has heard of Alexander the Great but never has it been easier to own a piece of his empire! Alexander was born in 356 BC and succeeded his father Philip II to the throne at the age of 20. He died in the Palace of Nebuchadnezzar II in Babylon at the age of 32, having created one of the largest empires of the ancient world. His campaigns are legendary! Then and now. We have a small group of his bronze coins in About Very Fine condition. On one side you have the head of Herakles wearing a lion’s skin headdress and on the other side Alexander’s name ‘AΛEΞANΔPOY’ in Greek script with Herakles bow and club on either side. This is because Alexander and his family claimed divine descent from Herakles. At only £95.00 this might be the easiest way to own a coin from one of the most famous of ancient people. The ideal coin to start an ancient coin collection, and a great present for an Alex you may know! Stock availability is limited...

Picture of Floating Display Case

Floating Display Case

We bought these some time ago, but due to lack of space, we asked the dealer we bought them from to store them for us. He recently asked if we still wanted them? As we had already paid for them, we said yes and now you can own one of these fantastic display pieces at a lot less than is being asked elsewhere. You can take one or more coins or any other collectable, put it in this frame and it will appear to be floating in space. When we first saw it, it blew us away. This is the answer to displaying your coins or other collectables without damaging them. Using it is quite simple: you open the case, position your items where you want them, close the case and there they are – floating in space. If you want to replace the items, all you have to do is open the case, take the items out and replace them with a new coin. These were originally made to sell for £19.95, but the manufacturer never got around to advertising them. We bought them right, as is our plan, if we buy right we sell right. The outer case measures 13 x13 cm and the inner surface measures 10 x10 cm. Once you have seen one you will want to buy some. Remember, they are not just for coins you can display stamps, buttons, curios just about anything that you want.

Picture of Constantinople Commemorative Coin

Constantinople Commemorative Coin

This is a very interesting Ancient Roman commemorative coin of Constantine the Great. It was issued to commemorate the founding of Constantinople. You have the bust of Constantine the Great on one side and a standing goddess with wings on the other. Roman commemorative coins tend to be scarce and expensive. This is one of only two commemoratives that is both reasonable and available. They are struck in copper and we have them in Fine, they represent a very important historic event.
