Stater In the name of Alexander III, Abydos

Struck at Abydos — the strategically critical Hellespont crossing point — this issue falls squarely within the post-Ipsus period, when the fragmentation of Alexander's empire left mint cities scrambling to align with new power structures. Lysimachos controlled the region by this point, yet continued striking in Alexander's name, a practice that preserved commercial continuity across former Macedonian trade networks.

Price 1562 is not a common variety. Abydos output in gold was modest compared to the major Macedonian mints.
