| 表面の説明 | Head of the deified Herakles facing right, portrayed with the idealized features conventionally associated with Alexander the Great, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress over flowing curly hair. The effigy is rendered in fine high relief with naturalistic anatomical detail characteristic of Hellenistic die engraving. The lion's scalp frames the face prominently, with the paws knotted at the throat and the mane cascading to the left. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field. |

Rhodes struck posthumous Alexander tetradrachms as a practical trade currency rather than from any dynastic loyalty — the type was simply the dominant commercial coin of the eastern Mediterranean by the late third century. This particular issue dates to a tense period in Rhodian history: the island had weathered devastating earthquakes in 226 BC and was now navigating the aftermath of the Roman-Macedonian conflicts, having famously appealed to Rome against Philip V. The Rhodian mint was meticulous, and Ashton's die studies confirm this group was produced over a compressed window with identifiable obverse die linkages.
