Stater In the name of Alexander III, Magnesia ad Maeandrum

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.
