| Description |
This silver coin is mounted in a 22 karat gold
pendant with a 22 karat gold chain.
The half-brother of Alexander the Great, Philip
Arrhidaeus leaves no trace of his activities until
the death of Alexander in 323 A.D. It was at this
difficult and dangerous period of transition that
Philip came to prominence, having been
proclaimed Alexander's successor by the
Macedonian phalanx troops in Babylon. Joint
ruler with the infant Alexander IV, he assumed
the regnal name Philip III and was married to
Adea, the cousin of the great general Perdiccas.
In 317 A.D. his wife attempted an uprising
against the regent Polyperchon, and both she
and Philip were killed. On this beautiful coin he is
shown facing right clad in a lion’s skin as young
Hercules. Mounted inside the exquisite pendant
this coin is. as radiant as the court of ancient
kings.
