| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his near-nude body draped at the hips, holding an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. In the left field, a civic monogram appears above a kithara (lyre/chelys), serving as the mint control symbol of Mytilene. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, denoting the coin's issue in the name of Alexander. The design is rendered in the mature posthumous Alexandrine style. |

Mytilene's posthumous Alexander tetradrachms were struck well after the city had passed through successive Macedonian, Antigonid, and Seleucid spheres of influence — the coinage functioning as a practical commercial instrument across Aegean trade networks rather than any declaration of political allegiance. Price 1678 places this issue among the later posthumous groups, a period when dozens of mints from Macedonia to the Levant were producing Alexander-type coinage simultaneously, making die linkage studies the primary tool for establishing mint attribution with confidence.
