Posthumous Alexanders struck at Erythrai represent one of the more geographically interesting episodes in the long afterlife of Alexander's coinage. Erythrai, an Ionian Greek city on the Aegean coast of Asia Minor, issued these tetradrachms during a period when the region was contested between the Seleucid kingdom and the expanding influence of Rome — the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC effectively ended Seleucid control of western Anatolia and likely marks the terminus of this series.
Price 1901 is distinguished by its specific die combination within the broader Erythraian posthumous output.
