Struck at Magnesia ad Maeandrum in the immediate aftermath of Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue belongs to the chaotic interregnum when his generals still nominally struck coinage in his name while carving up the empire. Magnesia was one of several western Anatolian mints that continued producing Alexander-type drachms under Macedonian authority — or the pretense of it — during the wars of the Diadochi.
Price 1936 places this emission within a tightly defined die study. The Magnesia mint is distinguished from contemporaneous issues by specific symbol placements catalogued by Martin Price in his 1991 corpus.
