Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Corinth

Struck at Corinth in the two decades following Alexander's death in 323 BC, this issue belongs to the vast posthumous coinage produced across the fragmenting empire — not as a political fiction, but because Alexander's types had become the dominant trade currency of the eastern Mediterranean and abandoning them would have been commercial suicide. Corinth's mint was operating under the shifting authority of the Antigonid and later Diadochi factions contesting control of mainland Greece during this period.

Price 673 places this among a well-documented Corinthian sequence. The Sicyon cross-reference reflects the numismatic debate over attributing certain Peloponnesian issues, where mint attribution has historically relied on die linkage rather than any explicit mint marks.
