| Aversbeschreibung | Youthful male head in right profile, depicting Herakles assimilated to Alexander III, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress with the scalp knotted at the throat, its paws visible at the lower neck. The portrait displays finely rendered curling hair emerging beneath the lion scalp, with strong idealized facial features characteristic of the Alexander coinage tradition. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the design set boldly in high relief, filling the field with no legend or border. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his body draped from the waist, holding a long upright scepter in his raised left hand and extending his right hand to support an eagle standing right with wings closed. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ to the left reads 'of King Alexander.' A crescent symbol and a monogram appear in the left field, and a further control monogram is placed beneath the throne, serving as mint or magistrate marks characteristic of Seleucid issues struck in the name of Alexander. |

Carrhae — later infamous as the site of Crassus's catastrophic defeat in 53 BC — was operating as a productive mint in the early Seleucid period, striking in the name of Alexander III well after his death in 323 BC. This practice was deliberate policy: Seleucus I needed his coinage to circulate seamlessly across territories that already recognized Alexandrine types, and issuing under a dead king's name was cheaper politically than introducing an unfamiliar royal portrait. Price 3816 is identified by its specific monogram combination, placing it firmly within the Carrhae output rather than the broader Mesopotamian issues that can superficially resemble it.
