Posthumous Alexanders were struck by dozens of mints across the former empire for well over a century after his death in 323 BC, functioning as an international trade currency whose acceptance depended on consistent weight and type rather than any issuing authority's name. The attribution "uncertain Greek city" places this piece outside the major identified series — Amphipolis, Babylon, Tyre — and into a category where die-linking and stylistic analysis remain the only tools for pinning down origin.
Heintges #8 is a narrow reference, suggesting a specialist attribution rather than a mainstream corpus entry. Without confirmed die links, provenance here does most of the work.
