Didrachm - Alexander III Babylon

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.
