England (Ancient Britain), 2nd century B.C.. Gold; diameter: 2.3 cm (7/8 in.). Like many other pieces in the ancient British series of staters, those of the Bellovaci, which were struck on the mainland of Europe and in Britain, take their type from the gold staters of Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BC). This original coin was copied and recopied over a long period of time, the copies becoming on occasion very crude pieces. The head on the piece shown is a run-down form of the head of Philip while the reverse is all that is left of the chariot of Apollo, the Sun God, and its driver.Oort van Weert, possibly as a guild pension used by the linenweavers guild.Copper Medal.

Afghanistan, Bactria, Bactrian period (3rd-2nd Century BC), Eukratides I. Silver; diameter: 3.4 cm (1 5/16 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 king of Greek descent who ruled over territories in Afghanistan and Pakistan depicted himself with the brimmed military helmet with the bull's ear and horn of Poseidon, worn by generals from Macedon, the northern Greek country from which Alexander caMedals.
