背面描述	Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his nude torso rendered in the classical style, holding an eagle with spread wings on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his raised left hand. In the left field, a plough symbol facing right serves as a mint control mark. Below the throne, the Greek letter Theta (Θ) appears as a secondary control mark. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed in the right field, reading from top to bottom.

附加信息	Struck at Tarsos during Alexander's eastern campaigns, this issue belongs to the final, most prolific phase of his mint output — production at eastern mints was running at extraordinary volume to pay the Macedonian army and its vast network of mercenaries and allied troops. Tarsos had been a functioning mint under Persian satrapal authority before Alexander seized it in 333 BC, and he simply repurposed the existing infrastructure. Price 3034 places this firmly in the late Tarsos sequence. The city would continue striking posthumous Alexanders well into the Diadoch period.
