This is a rare coin from the ancient Kingdom of Macedon, city of Amphipolis. This coin was minted between the second and first centuries BC. It is a great addition to any coin collection, especially for those interested in ancient history.
Amphipolis was originally a Thracian town called Ennea Hodoi, which means "Nine Roads". It was colonized by Athens in 437–436 BCE. It was later occupied by Philip II of Macedonia in 357 and remained under Macedonian control until 168.
