| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing right, the youthful and beardless head of Heracles is depicted in three-quarter relief, clad in the scalp of the Nemean lion whose jaws crown the hero's head and whose paws are knotted at the throat. The rendering exhibits the bold, deeply modelled style characteristic of late Hellenistic posthumous Alexander-type coinage, with pronounced facial features and flowing mane locks of the lion skin visible around the portrait. The flan is slightly irregular at the edges, consistent with hand-struck production of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Aspendus in Pamphylia roughly a century and a half after Alexander's death, this is a posthumous issue produced under Seleucid administration — not a Macedonian royal mint. By the late 180s BC, the Seleucid empire was hemorrhaging territory following Antiochus III's catastrophic defeat by Rome at Magnesia in 190 BC, and local mints across Asia Minor were pressed back into service partly to finance the punishing indemnity imposed by the Treaty of Apamea. Price 2907 is identifiable by its specific monogram combination placing it firmly within the Aspendus sequence.
