| Beschrijving voorzijde | Macedonian round shield depicted in plan view, its surface articulated with a pattern of concentric raised bands and oval bosses arranged around the periphery. At the centre of the shield, within a raised circular border, appears the youthful head of Herakles in right profile, clad in the lion-skin headdress, rendered in low relief characteristic of early Hellenistic bronze coinage. The serrated outer rim of the shield is visible along the coin's periphery, emphasizing the distinctly martial iconography associated with Macedonian royal coinage. |

Philip III Arrhidaeus was Alexander's half-brother, kept largely hidden during Alexander's lifetime due to an intellectual disability — possibly the result of a deliberate poisoning attempt by Olympias when he was a child. He was proclaimed co-king immediately after Alexander's death in Babylon in 323 BC, a figurehead manipulated by successive regents: first Perdiccas, then Antipater, then Polyperchon. Bronze civic coinage issued under his name served the practical needs of a Macedonian economy that continued functioning despite the chaos of the Diadochi wars swirling around him.
He was executed on Olympias's orders in 317 BC, though coinage continued to be struck in his name until the regency finally collapsed around 310 BC.
