Additional information

Struck at Amphipolis shortly after Alexander's death in 323 BC, these issues continued under the authority of his successors during the turbulent regency period — first Perdiccas, then Antipater. Amphipolis was the principal Macedonian mint, and it never stopped producing Alexander-type coinage even as the empire fractured around it. Price 136 falls within a tightly attributed group distinguished by specific control marks that allow scholars to sequence production across these years with unusual precision.
