Struck after Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue belongs to the posthumous coinage produced by the Macedonian kingdom as his successors scrambled to assert legitimacy through association with his name. Price 667 is attributed to Corinthian mint output during the Diadochi period, when control of the minting apparatus itself was a political instrument — whoever struck in Alexander's name was implicitly claiming his mantle.
Corinth's mint had direct access to Macedonian gold supplies routed through the Aegean trade networks, and its output during this window was substantial. Martin Price's 1991 corpus remains the definitive reference for untangling these posthumous attributions.
