Beschrijving voorzijde Youthful head of Heracles in right profile, unbearded, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp knotted beneath the chin, the forelegs draped over the shoulder. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, framed by loose curling hair. The field is plain and the design is set within a beaded border.

Aanvullende informatie

Posthumous Alexander tetradrachms were struck by dozens of mints across the Greek world following Alexander's death in 323 BC, as cities and successor rulers exploited the prestige of his coinage to facilitate trade and assert political legitimacy. The uncertain attribution here is genuine — without a clear control mark or die linkage to a known series, pinning this piece to a specific issuing authority remains unresolved. Müller's corpus and the Meydancikkale hoard reference narrow the window considerably, but the question stays open.

The Meydancikkale hoard, discovered in Cilicia, contained a significant concentration of late fourth- and early third-century silver, helping scholars map circulation patterns across the eastern Mediterranean during the Diadochi conflicts.
