| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of the deified Herakles facing right, wearing the lion skin headdress, the scalp tied beneath the chin with the forepaws knotted at the neck, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair. The portrait follows the canonical Lysippan tradition associated with Alexander III coinage. The field is plain and the design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Perge's brief window of autonomous silver coinage in the early second century BC coincided with the fragmentation of Seleucid authority across southern Anatolia following Antiochus III's western campaigns. The city struck in Alexander's name — decades after his death — because the posthumous tetradrachm had become the dominant trade currency of the eastern Mediterranean, and local commerce simply demanded it. Issuing under a dead king's authority was a monetary convenience, not a political statement.
The Colin Perge corpus identifies this as issue 16, distinguished by its specific magistrate monogram combination and die alignment from the handful of other Pergean Alexander types.
