Mylasa was one of several Carian cities that continued striking posthumous Alexander-type coinage well into the early third century BC, long after the king's death in 323. The city had been a significant power base under the Hecatomnid dynasty, and its mint operated with considerable autonomy during the Diadochi period — local magistrate symbols on these issues allow attribution, though the city never advertised its origin prominently on the coinage itself.
Price 2480 is a relatively scarce attribution within the posthumous series.
