| Additional information |
Perge was among the Pamphylian cities that adopted the Alexandrine tetradrachm as a vehicle for local coinage long after Alexander's death, issuing in his name as a matter of commercial convenience rather than political allegiance. By 212–211 BC, the city was operating within the Seleucid sphere, and these civic posthumous issues served the regional trade economy that ran between the Anatolian interior and the Mediterranean coast. The specific Colin Perge #10 attribution places this piece within a tightly sequenced die study, making controlled identification of individual emissions possible.
