This is a large 3+ oz silver medal. I was able to translate the legends to see that it is an Alexander the Great medal commemorating the Battle of Gaugamela. What I cannot decipher is the artist's signature. Something like Gaamakochi? I just don't know. Anyone here willing to take a stab at the signature above Alexander's head? I have included a close-up photo of the signature. Thanks in advance.
