This coin with the head of Alexander on one side, actually minted during his reign, seems to be in particularly good condition. If you're reading this, LeBrok, I thought of you. I've never seen a better example of a Greek nose!

Typical Greek profile all right. High roots, nose bridge parallel and in line with forehead, and in almost vertical configuration. South Balkan phenotype.
