Perge was among the Pamphylian cities that continued striking Alexander-type tetradrachms well into the second century BC, long after the Macedonian royal mints had ceased production. This particular issue, datable to 209–208 BC, belongs to a municipal coinage tradition in which civic magistrates effectively borrowed the prestige of Alexander's monetary standard to facilitate regional trade — the types carried international recognition that purely local designs could not command. The Colin Perge sequence places this among the earlier Pergean issues, before the series becomes crowded with magistrate monograms in the late third and early second centuries.
