| Notes: | Jul 20, 10 - Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, began building the foundation for a future empire until his untimely death in 336 B.C.E. This beautiful coin perfectly commemorates such an important figure in Classical history.
It is a very small coin but has developed two patinas. The first is the exceedingly black patina. Inlaid with it is a handsome desert patina so as to make the obverses and reverses stand out. The detail is absolutely amazing considering it has been around for about 2,300 years. I personally guarantee all my coins to be authentic. If the coin does not meet your expectations, please return it within thirty days of when the coin arrived and I will give you a full refund. I accept PayPal, checks, and money orders as forms of payments. Please note that if you choose to pay by PayPal I request that you pay a 3% fee based on the total value of the coin (sale price+shipping). Domestic shipping within the U.S. is $4.00 and international shipping is $8.00. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
