Alexander the Great Greek Leader Coin Replica Museum Cuff Links Gold Plate

These Alexander the Coin Great Cufflinks may be worn out to dinners, business meetings, and any social event that requires you to feel like you own the world!

The coin motif is a replica of a Greek Drachma (ca 330 BC) issued by Alexander the Great, the great Macedonian king. It is here interpreted as coin-shaped cuff link for the art history lover in your household. The portrait is easily recognizable for its wide forehead, well defined features, and wavy hair. His idealized face inspired later Roman military leaders like Julius Caesar and Augustus who modeled their portraiture after his.

About Alexander the Great: As the King of Macedonia, and the son of Philip II, Alexander the Great entered Asia Minor in 334 BC. Within a short time, he defeated the Persian king, conquered the Persian Empire, and mastered the known world from Macedonia in the north to Egypt in the south, and from the Aegean to Afghanistan. In art, Alexander the Great favored the style of Greek art and chose it as the defining statement of his empire's expanding borders.
