KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III. 336-323 BC. AV Stater (18mm, 8.56 gm). Ake mint. Dated year 31 (316/315 BC). Helmeted head of Athena right; serpent on helmet / Nike standing left, holding wreath in right hand, stylis in left; date left. Price -; Hersh, Additions -; Müller -. VF, field marks.

Price does not record any staters for year 31 or 32. He does list them for years 30 and 33. This coin clearly shows the 30 of the date and one vertical line after the 30 (indicating 31), although it's possible additional lines were present on the die but are off the flan. The configuration of the date is different than the configuration recorded for the staters dated year 33; this coin's date is in one line, Price records the dates on the year 33's in two lines.
