| Description |
English: Apart from the Alexander portrait discovered at his father's burial chamber in Vergina, only one other Alexander portrait exists that was known to have been made during his lifetime. It appears on a gold coin, no larger than a U.S. penny, found in 1993 at the village of Mir Zakah in Paktia province, eastern Afghanistan.
The looting of Mir Zakah in 1992-93 - which yielded some four tons of coins and some 770 pounds of gold and silver objects - is legendary. The Alexander coin seen here quickly made its way to London, where it is now in a private collection! [the owner allows the coin to be reproduced only as a drawing to prevent it from being copied]. Other Mir Zakah artifacts are in the Japanese Miho Museum. The remainder have been scattered, sold to collectors around the world! به غیر از پُرتریت (تصویر صورت) اسکندر که در آرامگاه زادگاهش در وِرگینا (شهری کوچک در شمال یونان) کشف شده، تنها یک تصویر دیگر از اسکندر وجود دارد که در دوران عمرش ضرب شده. این تصویر نادر دوم بر روی یک سکه طلا، که از سکه پنی امریکایی بزرگتر نیست، در سال ۱۹۹۳ در قریۀ میرزَکه در ولایت پکتیا پیدا شد. غارت و چپاول میرزکه در سال‌های ۱۹۹۲ و ۱۹۹۳- که گنجینه‌ای عظیم مشتمل بر چهار تُن (۴۰۰۰ کیلوگرم) سکه و در حدود ۷۷۰ پوند (حدود ۳۵۰ کیلوگرم) اشیاء طلا و نقره بود - بقدری گسترده و جبران‌ناپذیر بوده که به یک رویداد افسانوی می‌ماند. این سکۀ اسکندر را که در تصویر بالا می‌بینید، بسرعت سر از لندن در آورد، و فعلا در همین شهر در کلکسیون شخصی یک نفر جای گرفته است! [صاحب این سکه تنها رسامی از این سکه را اجازه داده تا از کاپی شدن آن جلوگیری شود]. آثار باستانی دیگر از میرزکه در موزیم میهو در جاپان (ژاپن) موجود است. بقیۀ این گنجینه در سطح دنیا پراکنده شده و به کلکسیونرها در اقصا نقاط دنیا فروخته شده است |
