Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Alexandreia Troas

Struck at Alexandreia Troas well after Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue belongs to a long tradition of posthumous Alexandrine tetradrachms produced by successor cities asserting legitimacy through his name and type. Alexandreia Troas itself was formally refounded and renamed by Antigonus I Monophthalmus around 310 BC, amalgamating several older Troad settlements — the mint's operation in this period reflects the city's ambitions under the early Seleucid and competing Lysimachean spheres of influence.

Price 1589 places this emission firmly in the post-Lysimachus period, following his death at Corupedium in 281 BC.
