| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his upper body nude, a himation draped across his lower body. He extends his right arm forward, an eagle perched upon his outstretched hand, and holds a long sceptre vertically in his left hand. In the left field, the forepart of a ram facing right serves as a mint control symbol. Beneath the throne seat, five pellets arranged above a horizontal strut appear as a secondary control mark, with the mint abbreviation ΔΑ (for Damascus) inscribed below the strut. The principal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Damascus came under Macedonian control following Alexander's decisive victory at Issus in 333 BC, and the mint there was put to immediate use funding the ongoing eastern campaign. The city had served as the Persian royal treasury depot — Parmenion's rapid capture of it yielded enormous sums that were almost certainly melted and restruck as coinage of exactly this type.
Price 3211 falls within the posthumous issues, placing it after Alexander's death in 323 BC and into the early Diadochi period when his generals continued striking in his name to maintain military pay and commercial confidence across a fracturing empire.
