| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style with characteristic flowing, tousled hair swept back from the forehead. The portrait displays strong, idealized facial features with a prominent brow and well-defined jaw. The flan is slightly irregular, as typical of struck bronze issues from Thracian cities of this period. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Abdera, a Greek colonial city on the Thracian coast, struck bronze issues invoking Alexander's name and imagery well after his death as a way of anchoring local civic identity to Macedonian prestige. By the mid-third century the city had weathered repeated Thracian raids and shifting regional alliances, and associating municipal coinage with the Alexandrine tradition was as much political calculation as cultural habit. Abdera never recovered its classical-period prosperity after the Thracian king Abrupolis sacked it around 170 BC.
