Excuse me, could you clarify your question? It seems like you're asking about a historical figure, Alexander the Great, and referencing him being on a coin. However, I'm not sure if you're referring to a specific cryptocurrency or a traditional coin minted during Alexander's time. If you're inquiring about a cryptocurrency that somehow incorporates Alexander the Great, I'm not aware of any directly associated with him. On the other hand, if you're asking about ancient coins featuring Alexander the Great's image, numerous tetradrachms and other coin types from his reign have been discovered, showcasing his likeness and often inscribed with his name and titles. Could you please elaborate on your query?

Excuse me, could you please elaborate on the intriguing concept of "Alexander the Great living on a coin"? Are you referring to the historical figure Alexander III of Macedon, who is often depicted on coins as a symbol of his legacy and power? If so, how do we measure the duration of his "life" on these coins, given that they are inanimate objects? Is there a particular coin or series of coins you have in mind, and are you inquiring about the lifespan of the physical coin itself, or perhaps the enduring cultural significance Alexander's image has had on those coins throughout history?
