| Beschrijving voorzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in the Attic style with a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl. The goddess is further embellished with a pendant earring and a beaded necklace, rendered in fine relief characteristic of the post-Alexander coinage tradition. The portrait exhibits the idealized, classical treatment standard to Macedonian-type staters struck in the name of Alexander III. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By the mid-third century BC, Alexander's name and types had long outlived the man himself, adopted by cities and successor kingdoms across the Greek world as a trusted monetary standard. Istrus, a Milesian colony on the Black Sea coast, was one of several mints that struck posthumous Alexanders — the coinage functioned as an international trade currency, and local identity mattered far less than weight consistency. Price 963 places this issue firmly within the Istrian series, distinguished by specific control marks that separate it from the flood of contemporary imitations.
