| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low throne without back, his upper body nude and his lower body draped; in his extended right hand he holds an eagle facing right, and in his left hand a long upright sceptre. The reverse legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs to the right of the throne. In the left field, a Macedonian shield is depicted, with the letters ΑΣ inscribed upon it and a monogram above. The letters ΦΙ appear below the throne as a mint or magistrate control mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck posthumously in Alexander's name, this piece dates to the generation-long scramble among the Diadochi — his successors — who continued issuing Alexander-type coinage partly for its unmatched commercial credibility across the eastern Mediterranean and Near East. Price 811 places this issue within the Amphipolis mint sequence, one of the most prolific producers of posthumous Alexanders during the wars of the successors.
Martin Price's 1991 corpus remains the definitive reference for distinguishing these issues by die linkage and control marks, since regnal attribution is impossible without them.
