| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Athena facing right in high relief, helmeted with a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent upswept crest and a serpentine coil at the bowl. The goddess's youthful, idealized features are rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry, with flowing locks of hair cascading beneath the helmet onto the neck and shoulders. The cheek-pieces of the helmet frame the face elegantly, and the surface of the flan exhibits the characteristic granular texture of a hammered gold issue. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Magnesia ad Maeandrum during the turbulent years following Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue falls squarely within the era of the Diadochi wars, when his generals were carving up the empire and each controlled mint continued producing in Alexander's name to assert continuity and legitimacy. Magnesia, a Greek city on the Maeander river under Macedonian authority, operated as a regional mint of genuine importance during this window.
Price 1969 places this among the posthumous issues — struck under no single successor's firm control, but maintaining the Alexander type without interruption.
