| Aversbeschreibung | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent upright crest and a coiled serpent on the bowl, rendered in fine high relief characteristic of early Macedonian royal coinage. The goddess's profile displays idealized Classical features with a strong jaw and serene expression, with flowing locks of hair visible beneath the helmet's cheekpieces. The flan is slightly irregular in shape, as typical of hammered coinage of this period. |

Price 197 places this stater among the early Aegae issues struck under Alexander's own authority, beginning the year he took the Macedonian throne after Philip II's assassination at that same city. Aegae was the ancient dynastic capital — Pella had long overtaken it politically — but its mint carried symbolic weight precisely because of that history. Production at Aegae was relatively brief; the bulk of Alexander's gold coinage shifted rapidly to more strategically positioned mints as the campaigns moved east.
The Persian treasury at Persepolis, captured in 330 BC, flooded Alexander's war chest with bullion on a scale that transformed Macedonian coinage output entirely. Aegae's role was already diminished well before that windfall.
