| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in left profile upon a high-backed throne, his upper body nude, a himation draped across his lap and lower limbs. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle facing right, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The Greek ethnic legend AΛEΞANΔΡOY runs along the right field, reading 'of Alexander.' The control mark KI appears in the left field above chair level, with the ME monogram placed beneath the throne. The composition exemplifies the canonical reverse type of Alexander III drachms as perpetuated by the Diadochi. |

These posthumous drachms were struck at Lampsacus on the Hellespont during the wars of the Diadochi — the brutal succession conflicts that tore Alexander's empire apart after his death in 323 BC. By the time this coin was minted, no single successor had consolidated control, and several were still striking in Alexander's name specifically to claim legitimacy over troops and territories that remained loyal to his memory rather than to any living general.
Price 1406 places this emission firmly within the Lampsacus series, identifiable by its control marks and die linkages studied exhaustively in Martin Price's 1991 corpus.
