Stater In the name of Alexander III, Uncertain eastern mint

Alexander's gold staters were struck at mints stretched from Macedonia to Babylon and beyond, and attributing pieces to specific eastern facilities remains one of the more contested problems in Hellenistic numismatics. The "Price#–" citation signals this piece falls outside Martin Price's 1991 corpus entirely — either an unrecorded die combination or a mint whose output Price could not confidently place. That happens more than the catalog suggests.

The decade spanning 320–310 BC saw Alexander's successors, the Diadochi, rapidly co-opting his coin types to assert legitimacy over fractured territories. Production authority was genuinely ambiguous during these years.
