Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great, ruled from 336 to 323 BC. He led a massive military campaign that conquered the Persian Empire, expanding his kingdom from Greece to India. His vast coinage standardized Hellenistic currency and continued to be struck posthumously for decades.
