I’m looking for my next alexander the great coin to buy and I came across this, it looks genuine and the seller is on Vcoins which is a pretty reliable online store, but what caught my attention is the weight, the listing says its 13 grams, and I remembered that cast copies are this much lighter. What do you guys think?

What is normal weight?
@darktone
Normally 17-18 grams, Ive never seen anything below 15 grams
@sapyx
Do you have any idea?
Yeah, I'm really not liking that one. The face looks wrong, the toning looks wrong, the lettering looks wrong. Even if genuine, at 13 grams, it's not likely to be a lifetime issue, I'm thinking.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
That sounds very suspicious
@Sapyx
The listing states that its struck under Kassander 315-294 and Amphipolis mint. It has 24 mm yet only 13.93 grams which is my main concern plus because the price on the listing in only 225 USD which even for a posthumous its much cheaper for its shape.
let's see the edge, could be a contemporary imitation, or an ordinary fake
