| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a stool-throne, his upper body semi-nude and draped at the waist; his outstretched right hand supports an eagle facing right, while his left hand firmly grasps a tall sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading downward. Mint control monograms appear in the left field and beneath the throne, serving as identifying marks for the Magnesia ad Maeandrum mint. The overall composition follows the standard Alexandrine reverse type, rendered with the confident yet slightly provincial hand characteristic of this Ionian workshop. |

Magnesia ad Maeandrum was an Ionian Greek city with a complicated relationship to Macedonian power — it had previously been under Persian administration and passed through several hands during the chaos following Alexander's death in 323 BC. Coins struck here in Alexander's name were issued posthumously, part of the broad continuation of the royal type by satraps, successors, and allied cities asserting legitimacy through association with the dead king rather than any living authority.
Price 1968 places this issue firmly within the Lamian War and early Diadochi period, when Antigonos controlled much of Asia Minor.
