Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Corinth

Struck at Corinth during the turbulent decades following Alexander's death in 323 BC, this tetradrachm belongs to a phase when multiple successors — Cassander, Antigonus, and later Demetrius Poliorcetes — fought for control of mainland Greece. Corinth changed hands repeatedly during this period, and the city's mint continued striking in Alexander's name throughout, a political choice that signaled legitimacy rather than dynastic loyalty to any single successor.
