In 323 BCE, Alexander the Great died, leaving behind no heir but a group of ambitious, powerful friends who quickly divided the massive kingdom he’d established into separate Hellenistic kingdoms. After all was said and done, only three remained. The most powerful and longest-lasting was the Ptolemaic Kingdom, led by Ptolemaios–or Ptolemy I Soter–from 305 BC until Queen Cleopatra's death in 30 BC. This coin is a replica of one struck in the image of Ptolemaios centuries ago.
