Afghanistan, Bactria, c. 2nd-1st century BC. Silver; diameter: 3.2 x 0.5 cm (1 1/4 x 3/16 in.). After Alexander of Macedon succeeded in conquering Egypt and Persia in 331 BC, his ambition to rule the known world led him further east across Bactria in Afghanistan, through the Hindu Kush mountain pass, and into India. There he succeeded in defeating all the local kings of the region until his men, on the brink of mutiny, insisted that they return to Greece. Alexander left governors in charge of his territories, and after his death in 323 BC, his governors became independent kings, establishing Hellenistic cities and a Greek cultural base in the region, which lasted for almost 200 years. The posthumous portrait of Alexander on the front of this coin depicts him wearing the lion scalp. He identified with Hercules, the mortal who became a god as a result of his superhuman feats, including the defeat of the Nemean lion.Elevation of Willem III to commander-in-chief of land and naval power.

The lion, king of the beasts and an animal associated with regal and heroic power, featured prominently on the coinage of many ancient Greek city-states. Artists placed the lion in a variety of poses, sometimes including the whole body, at other times the foreparts or just the head. Although it may once have roamed nearby, for many Greeks the lion was a monster nearly as exotic as the Chimaera, of which it formed a part (together with a goat head and snake-headed tail, as seen on this Sikyonian coin).Adriano Fiorentino, Urania Walking to Right, Holding a Globe and Lyre (reverse), 1488 or after Urania Walking to Right, Holding a Globe and Lyre reverseVarious coins and tokens, Jan Dam Steuerwald, 1839 - 1863 print Different coins and tokens.
