Stater, 336-323 BC. Greece, Macedonia, 4th century BC. Gold; diameter: 1.9 cm (3/4 in.). As the forces of Alexander III the Great advanced into Asia, the city-state of Salamis, on the island of Cyprus, voluntarily surrendered itself and its mint. Salamis began producing Macedonian-style coinage, adopting a helmeted Athena on the obverse and a winged Nike offering a laurel wreath on the reverse. The rudder in the left field is the distinguishing symbol of Salamis, a nod to the city’s longstanding maritime prominence.
