KINGS OF MACEDONIA.
CASSANDRUS,
Son of Anfipatrus, began to reign b.c. 315.
^ote.—No coins of Cassander are extant of any other metal than copper.
The immense quantity
of gold and silver which had been extracted from the mines of Macedonia and Thrace in the reigns
of Philip II. and Alexander III., may have caused a suspension of the working of them.

B. (K)AS^ANAPoy.
NoU.—This coin and the two following were struck between the accession of Cassander and the
year b.c. 306, the date of the naval battle of Cyprus, after which Cassander imitated Antigonus and

Note.—The only reason for attributing this coin to Philip IV. is that its types are not found united
either on the coins of Philip II. or of Philip III. That the coins of Philip IV. should be rare is not
surprising, as he reigned no longer than a few months.
