There were no coins at this time in the Akkadian Empire, however, here is a Cylinder Seal from around the time of SARGON the Great of Akkad. I captured it because of Sargon and his impact on History:Cylinder Seal of Hero Fighting Animals. Akkadian, 2350-2200 B.C. Ex J Tabot collectionCylinder Seal of Hero Fighting Animals. Akkadian, 2350-2200 B.C. Ex J Tabot collection.. Buff stone cylinder seal with scene of hero wresting antelope and winged lion. 25 mm. Good subject, design worn but still makes an impression. From the J Tabot collection. Ex: Agora

ALEXANDER III MAKEDONWN LIFETIME - TetradrachmBABALONIA, BabylonAlexander III LifetimeAR Tetradrachm / Stater (or Dishekel)Minted ca. 323-328 B.C.24 mm, 16.3gObv: Ba’al seated left holding scepterRev: Lion walking left, control mark Г above.(Control mark Г was minted during Alexander III Lifetime)Ref: Ref: BMC Arabia XXII no.1Comment: "This type was discussed by Martin Price in his article "Circulation at Babylon in 323 BC," in the book "Mnemata: Papers in Memory of Nancy M. Waggoner." He asserts that a reengraved die clearly shows the "lion staters" with gamma followed the ones with delta. "They are probably shekels on the local standard." (page 67). He dates them to the lifetime of Alexander, because they were present in a hoard with deposition dated to 323/2. He doesn't give the earliest possible date explicitly, but mentions that Mazaeus was governor until 328 and issued coins, so I infer Price would put them at or after 328. So you can say "Struck 323 or before, under Alexander the Great." Quoted from @ValentinianEx: @Ancientnoob NEXT: Lifetime of Philip II Makedonwn
