| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his seminude body draped across the lower limbs, holding a small eagle standing with spread wings on his outstretched right hand and a long scepter upright in his left. The throne legs are ornately decorated with spherical finials, and a groundline runs beneath the composition. To the left field, a monogram composed of the letters Γ, Ν, and Α is visible, serving as a magistrate or mint control mark; a small anchor symbol appears below the monogram. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs downward along the right field. The style and control marks are consistent with the civic posthumous issues struck at Cyme in Aeolis, as catalogued under Price 1626. |

Struck at Cyme in Aeolis — a Greek city on the Aegean coast of what is now western Turkey — this is a posthumous issue produced well over a century after Alexander's death in 323 BC. By the early second century, Cyme was operating under Seleucid influence, and the continued use of Alexander's types served a practical monetary purpose: the coinage was trusted across the eastern Mediterranean in ways that local issues simply were not. Price 1626 is identified by its specific monogram control marks, which remain the primary tool for attributing these widely-imitated types to individual minting authorities.
