Price 341 falls within the substantial bronze coinage Alexander issued to supply his armies and the civilian economies of newly conquered territories across Persia, Egypt, and into Central Asia. Bronze was strictly local currency — it didn't travel with tribute or move between satrapies the way silver tetradrachms did. These small units paid ferrymen, market vendors, and garrison suppliers.
The specific mint attribution for Price 341 remains debated among scholars working from die studies published after Martin Price's 1991 corpus.
