| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful head of Herakles in right profile, depicted with idealised Classical features and rendered in fine relief. The hero wears the Nemean lion-skin headdress, with the scalp drawn over the crown and the forepaws knotted loosely beneath the chin. The folds and texture of the pelt are rendered with confident die-cutting, characteristic of the Miletos mint workshop. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Miletos during the final two years of Alexander's life, this issue belongs to the massive monetization program that converted Persian treasury bullion — seized at Persepolis, Susa, and Ekbatana — into standardized coinage to pay the Macedonian army. The Miletos mint reopened under Macedonian control after Alexander retook the city from Persian-backed forces in 334 BC, making it one of the earlier eastern mints pressed into service for the campaign.
Price 2088 places this emission in the closing phase of production at Miletos, shortly before Alexander's death in Babylon halted the mint's output under his direct authority.
