| Additional information |
Perge's civic mint issued Alexander-type tetradrachms under its own authority in the late third century BC, a period when the Pamphylian coast sat uneasily between Seleucid ambitions and the expanding reach of Pergamon. The city's decision to strike in Alexander's name was not nostalgia — it was a practical choice to produce coinage acceptable in long-distance trade across a region where royal Seleucid issues and posthumous Alexanders circulated interchangeably.
Price 2862 is distinguished by a specific monogram and control mark pairing that ties it firmly to the Perge civic series rather than any royal or satrapal authority.
