Additional information

Struck at Tarsos during Alexander's active Anatolian and Levantine campaigns, this issue belongs to the earliest phase of his imperial coinage — minted when the Persian treasury at Tarsos itself had just been seized, providing the silver that almost certainly funded the dies. Price 2998 is among the more precisely attributable Tarsos types, with the mint active under direct Macedonian military administration rather than a subordinate satrap.
