Coin of Philip II of Macedon? c. 359

Editor: Here we have a coin attributed to Philip II of Macedon. It’s small and weathered, but I can almost feel the weight of history in it. What stories do you imagine it could tell, looking at its worn surface? Curator: Ah, to hold a piece of currency from a king, a conqueror! The wear speaks to countless transactions, journeys, and hands it's passed through. It whispers of an empire built on strategy, ambition, and perhaps a bit of ruthlessness. Does that make you see its beauty differently? Editor: It does. I hadn't considered the darker side. So, it's not just about trade, but also power? Curator: Exactly! Even in its diminished state, this coin still carries that charge, doesn't it? It makes you wonder about all the things this coin has seen. Editor: It definitely does. It's amazing how much one little coin can make you think about.
