| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, rendered in fine high relief characteristic of the Amphipolis mint. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent upright crest and decorated with a coiled serpent on the bowl, with feathered plume detailing visible to the left. Loose curling locks of hair fall beneath the helmet's cheek-guard, framing Athena's finely modelled features including a delicate eye, aquiline nose, and slightly parted lips. The neck is draped with a pendant earring visible below the cheek-guard, and the overall portraiture exhibits the accomplished die-engraving style associated with the early Amphipolitan issues under Alexander III. |

Price 181 places this stater among the early post-reform issues from Amphipolis, the mint Alexander relied on most heavily to fund his eastern campaigns. By 325 BC the logistics of paying a Macedonian army deep in Asia demanded extraordinary output — Amphipolis, drawing on Thracian and Pangaean gold sources, was the principal engine of that supply. The 319 BC terminus reflects the post-Alexander turbulence: Amphipolis fell under the control of competing successors, and Antipater's death that year effectively ended this issue's administrative continuity.
