These staters continued to be struck in Philip II's name well after his assassination in 336 BC — a deliberate policy under successors who recognized the coin's unmatched commercial reputation across the Greek world and beyond. Amphipolis, Macedonia's primary gold mint, drew on Thracian and Pangaean sources for its bullion. The issues within this date range fall in the turbulent years following Alexander the Great's death in 323 BC, when the Lamian War and the opening moves of the Diadochi conflicts were already fracturing the empire Philip had built.
