| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a high-backed throne, his nude torso turned slightly toward the viewer, right hand extended and holding an eagle (aetos) perched with wings folded, left hand resting on a long upright sceptre. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ runs horizontally in the lower field and ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed vertically to the right of the throne, identifying the issuing king. A kerykeion (caduceus) appears as a control symbol in the upper left field, while the monogram ΑΡ — denoting the mint of Arados — is placed beneath the throne. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established for the coinage of Alexander III the Great. |

Struck at Arados, the Phoenician island-city whose cooperation Alexander secured after the fall of Sidon and Tyre in 332 BC, this tetradrachm belongs to a mint that retained considerable autonomy under Macedonian authority. Arados continued producing Alexandrine coinage well into the Diadochi period, making precise attribution within the 328–320 BC window largely dependent on magistrate symbols and die linkage studies — work substantially advanced by Martin Price's 1991 corpus.
