Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Amphipolis

Struck at Amphipolis well after Alexander's death in 323 BC, this piece belongs to the long posthumous series that continued minting in his name under the early Diadochi. By the 280s, Amphipolis had passed through the hands of multiple successors — Cassander, Demetrius Poliorcetes, and ultimately Lysimachus — before falling to Pyrrhus and then Ptolemy Keraunos in rapid succession. The mint kept producing Alexander types throughout, a deliberate choice that projected legitimacy by association rather than announcing a new ruler.

Price 605 is a recognized variety within the Amphipolis sequence, attributable by specific magistrate symbols and control marks that allow closer dating within the series.
