| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his body draped from the waist down, holding an eagle perched with wings closed on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his raised left hand. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs downward along the right field. A forepart of Pegasus facing right appears as a control symbol in the left field. The composition is characteristic of the Amphipolis mint coinage struck during the reign of Alexander III. |

Price 44 is among the earliest die-linked issues from the Amphipolis mint under Alexander, struck while the city served as the primary silver-production center for the Macedonian war chest. Amphipolis had been seized by Philip II in 357 BC specifically for its access to the timber and silver of the Strymon valley, and it never stopped paying dividends — the mint ran almost continuously through Alexander's entire campaign in Asia.
This specific Price number places the coin early in the sequence, before the proliferation of eastern mints made Amphipolis a secondary source rather than the principal one.
