| Reversbeschreibung | Nike, goddess of victory, stands facing left with wings fully spread, depicted in flowing drapery in the Hellenistic style. In her extended right hand she holds a laurel wreath, symbol of triumph, while her left hand grasps a stylis (naval standard). Two monograms appear in the field — one to the left of the figure and one to the right within a wreath — serving as mint or magistrate control marks. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ, meaning 'of King Alexander,' frames the composition, affirming the posthumous royal authority invoked by Antigonos I Monophthalmos at the Babylon mint. |

Antigonos I — "the One-Eyed" — struck these gold staters at Babylon during his tenure as strategos of Asia, before the Wars of the Diadochi had fully resolved who, if anyone, would inherit Alexander's empire. He was still nominally acting under the authority of the Argead royal house; Philip III Arrhidaeus had been executed by Olympias in 317 BC, and the boy-king Alexander IV remained a fiction of continuity that none of the successors could yet afford to abandon publicly. Babylon was a logical mint choice — it had been Alexander's intended capital and held both the bullion stocks and the administrative infrastructure.
Price 3715 and 3716 differ in their ethnic and control mark arrangements, distinctions that matter to serious collectors of the Diadochi series.
