Tetradrachm - Alexander III Babylon

These final Babylon issues were struck while Alexander was still alive — just barely. The 323 BC terminus corresponds to his death in the city itself, making this among the last coinage produced under his direct authority rather than in his name posthumously. Price 3628 places this within a tightly defined Babylonian emission identifiable by specific control marks, separating it from the enormous posthumous output that followed under the Diadochi and flooded the eastern Mediterranean for decades.
