| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, depicted beardless and wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, with the scalp pulled over the crown and the paws knotted at the neck. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition, with finely detailed curling hair visible beneath the lion skin. The flan shows a beaded border partially visible around the coin's irregular edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip III Arrhidaeus was Alexander's half-brother, likely intellectually disabled, and was elevated to the throne purely as a puppet by the Macedonian army in the chaos following Alexander's death at Babylon in June 323 BC. These coins were struck in Alexander's name rather than Philip's own — a deliberate political fiction maintaining continuity with the conquests. The Babylon mint was still processing the enormous bullion reserves Alexander had looted from the Persian treasury at Persepolis when this issue was produced.
Philip was murdered on Olympias's orders in 317 BC, ending the regency period these coins represent.
