| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse galloping vigorously to the right, depicted with raised forelegs and flowing tail, conveying dynamic movement characteristic of Macedonian bronze coinage. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ arcs above the horse in the upper field, identifying the issuing authority. Beneath the horse, in the lower field, a trident-head symbol serves as a control mark. The overall composition is compact and energetic, consistent with the standard reverse type attributed to Price 342 and related issues of Alexander III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck during Alexander's campaign years, these bronzes functioned as the small-change backbone of a military economy stretching from Greece to the Indus. The mint attribution for this type remains contested — Price placed several of these issues at uncertain Macedonian mints, and the lack of mint marks on bronzes of this period makes definitive assignment genuinely difficult. What is clear is that production ramped aggressively after 334 BC to meet the logistical demands of a moving army numbering in the tens of thousands.
HGC 3.1 lists this type with an R2 rarity rating.
