| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned in left profile upon a low backless throne, his body draped from the waist, his left hand resting on a long scepter and his outstretched right hand supporting an eagle standing right with wings closed. The figure conveys divine authority through its monumental seated posture. To the left of the throne, a dove stands right, serving as a mint control symbol specific to the Paphos issue. The royal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears to the right of the enthroned figure, while the field is otherwise uncluttered, conforming to the standard Alexandrine reverse type. |

Struck at Paphos on Cyprus in the immediate aftermath of Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue belongs to the chaotic early Diadochi period when his generals were scrambling to control the eastern mints and their output. Cyprus fell under the authority of Ptolemy by around 321 BC, making the precise political allegiance of this mint during its final Macedonian-style production genuinely ambiguous. Price 3116 is a scarce variety, and Paphos was one of the smaller Cypriot mint operations — output was limited before Ptolemy consolidated the island's coinage under his own name.
