| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned to the left on a high-backed throne, his body rendered as a semi-nude muscular figure with drapery across the lap and legs. He extends his right hand forward bearing an eagle facing left with wings folded, and holds a long scepter upright in his raised left hand. In the left field below the throne, a wheat grain or star symbol appears as a mint control mark. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field in large Greek characters. The design is enclosed within a beaded dotted border. |

Price 232 places this issue among the earlier Pella mint productions under Alexander himself, before the posthumous flood of tetradrachms struck by his successors across dozens of mints from Egypt to Bactria. The Pella mint held a particular administrative significance — it was the Macedonian royal seat, and coins struck there carried an institutional weight that regional satrapal mints could not replicate.
Alexander's monetary reforms unified a fragmented Greek world onto a single Attic-weight silver standard, largely financed by the captured Achaemenid treasuries at Persepolis and Susa, estimated at some 180,000 talents of bullion.
