| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a low backless throne, his upper body nude and his lower body draped; his outstretched right hand supports an eagle with closed wings, while his left hand grasps a tall sceptre rising to the upper left field. In the left field stands the figure of Athena Promachos advancing right, depicted in miniature as a mint control symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading downward. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established for Alexander III's imperial silver coinage and continued posthumously by the Amphipolis mint under the early Diadochi. |

Struck at Amphipolis in the immediate aftermath of Alexander's death in 323 BC, these coins were produced under the authority of Antipater, who governed Macedonia as regent while the empire's generals began maneuvering for power. Amphipolis was the primary mint for Macedonian silver throughout this period, and output remained high precisely because the armies still had to be paid regardless of who held ultimate authority.
Price 105 places this issue among the earliest posthumous Alexander types, distinguished by specific die linkages rather than any overt change in iconography — the transition from lifetime to posthumous coinage was deliberately seamless.
