| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his body shown in three-quarter view; he holds an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his raised left hand. In the inner left field, a Corinthian helmet is depicted as a control symbol, with a monogram placed beneath the throne. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is disposed in two vertical lines flanking the seated figure, identifying the issue as struck in the name of Alexander the Great. The overall composition follows the standard posthumous Alexandrine reverse type, with the Mesembriot civic symbols differentiating this local emission. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mesembria, a Greek colonial city on the Black Sea coast of Thrace, struck posthumous Alexander tetradrachms well into the second century BC — long after the Macedonian empire had fractured. These issues were not nostalgic tributes but commercial currency, accepted across the eastern Mediterranean because the Alexander type carried recognized fineness and weight. Müller 441 is among the later Mesembrian issues, produced when the city navigated shifting pressures from both the Antigonid kingdom to the west and the expanding influence of Pontus to the east.
