| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare head of Heracles in right profile, wearing the lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn tightly over the crown and the forelegs knotted at the throat, the mane rendered in bold relief cascading behind the neck. The portrait, idealised in the Lysippan tradition, displays fine hair curling beneath the lion scalp and strong, classical facial features. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with a beaded border visible along the upper rim. |

Price 3139 places this tetradrachm among the Salamis mint issues struck during Alexander's lifetime — a mint on Cyprus activated as part of the broader logistical machinery supporting his eastern campaigns. Cyprus had been brought under Macedonian control after the siege of Tyre in 332 BC, and its existing mint infrastructure was promptly put to work funding the army's advance. The island's silver output was never large relative to Amphipolis or Babylon, making lifetime issues from Salamis considerably scarcer than the posthumous flood that followed Alexander's death in 323.
