| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare head of Heracles in right-facing profile, depicted without beard, enveloped in the scalp of the Nemean lion whose gaping jaws frame the crown of the head and whose knotted paws are visible at the neck. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, conveying idealized heroic youth. A beaded border encircles the design field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Myriandros — a coastal trading post on the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean, near the mouth of the Amanos pass — became a mint for Alexander's coinage as his army pushed east following the victory at Issus in 333 BC. The city's position on a major overland route into Syria made it a logical point for producing coin to pay troops and administer newly conquered territory. Price 3218 is among the better-documented issues from this mint, though Myriandros struck for a relatively short window before regional minting priorities shifted further east toward Babylon and Susa.
