Tetradrachm - Alexander III Amphipolis

Price 66 is among the earliest issues in Martin Price's die study of Alexander's coinage, attributed to the Amphipolis mint which became the primary silver-striking facility for the Macedonian kingdom following Philip II's seizure of the city in 357 BC. The mint's access to the silver mines of Mount Pangaion made it central to funding Alexander's campaigns — the logistical scale of which required coin production at a pace previously unseen in the Greek world.

Amphipolis continued striking in Alexander's name well after his death in 323, complicating precise attribution for many dies in this series. Price 66 is assigned to the lifetime issues, though the margin of certainty narrows considerably toward the later dates of that range.
