| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his upper body nude and his lower body draped, extending his right hand outward upon which an eagle with closed wings is perched. In his left hand he holds a long vertical sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears vertically along the right field. A caduceus is positioned in the left field as a mint control symbol, and a monogram or secondary control mark appears beneath the throne. The composition follows the canonical Alexander-type reverse with distinctive Corinthian workshop details. |

After Alexander's death in 323 BC, several successor-controlled mints in the Peloponnese — including Corinth — continued striking tetradrachms in his name as a matter of economic convenience rather than political loyalty. Corinth's issues from this period are distinguished by subtle control marks catalogued by Price, and the specific dies referenced here have been linked to the city's role as a commercial hub connecting Aegean and western Mediterranean trade routes. The Sicyon reference grouping alongside Corinthian output suggests shared administrative oversight, possibly under Ptolemy's brief Peloponnesian ambitions before Antigonus Monophthalmus consolidated the region.
