336–323 B.C. Silver Drachm of Alexander the Great NGC Ch VF

Own the “Silver Dollar” of Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great is probably the most famous, admired, discussed and studied leader in world history. His reign began in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and spawned an empire that was one of the largest ever known. Most historians agree that no other single ruler controlled more of the world than Alexander. Tutored in his youth by Aristotle, a general at 16, and a king by the age of 20, Alexander is one of the most fascinating human beings to ever walk the earth.

From the time he ascended to the throne until his death, Alexander led an unprecedented expedition that is arguably the world’s most successful military campaign – ever. His armies swept down through Egypt and then circled back through the East, taking territory the whole time all the way to the borders of India. Alexander’s armies defeated every army it faced for 13 years. His reign was short-lived, however, for he died at Babylon in 323 B.C. while traveling home. He was just 33.

Alexander was so famous and universally beloved that rulers following in his wake continued to use his image or name for another 250 years!
