| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, depicted beardless and wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp covering the crown and the forepaws knotted at the throat. The modelling is bold and finely rendered in the Hellenistic style, with pronounced facial features and naturalistically articulated fur. A dotted border frames the design at the coin's periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck posthumously in Alexander's name at Magnesia ad Maeandrum, this issue belongs to the chaotic interval following Alexander's death in 323 BC when his generals — the Diadochi — continued minting in his name to claim legitimacy while carving up the empire. Magnesia, positioned in the Maeander river valley of western Asia Minor, fell within the shifting sphere of Antigonus Monophthalmus during much of this period. The city's mint output under Alexander's posthumous coinage is relatively modest, and Müller 540 is among the more precisely attributed of its issues.
