Beschrijving keerzijde Zeus Aëtophoros seated left on a high-backed throne, his torso bare and draped from the waist, holding a long sceptre upright in his left hand and extending his right hand to present an eagle perched upon his outstretched fingers. Beneath the throne appears a mint control symbol consisting of a torch flanked by the letters M, with an additional M control mark to the left of the throne. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field. The whole design is contained within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Struck at Babylon in the final two years of Alexander's life, this didrachm belongs to a mint that had been operating under Macedonian authority since the fall of Persia in 331 BC. Babylon was not merely a convenient location — it was the administrative heart of Alexander's eastern empire and the city where he died in June 323 BC. Price 3603 places this issue within a tightly dated sequence, and the short window of production means surviving examples are genuinely rare relative to the prolific Amphipolis and Asian mint output.
