| Aversbeschreibung | Right-facing portrait of Herakles in three-quarter relief, wearing the lion-skin headdress with the scalp knotted beneath the chin, the mane rendered in flowing locks framing the face. The musculature of the neck and shoulder is boldly articulated in the Hellenistic style. A beaded border runs along the upper periphery of the flan. The portrait follows the canonical Alexandrine type established at the Macedonian royal mint and widely adopted by successor and civic mints throughout the Greek world. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Zeus Aëtophoros seated left on a throne with a high back, his torso bare and his lower body draped, extending his right arm forward to present an eagle perched with wings spread, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. In the left field, two control symbols are visible — rendered as vase-like objects stacked vertically. The ethnic ΕΡΥ appears in the lower left field, identifying the mint city of Erythrai, and the additional control letters ΙΣΟ are inscribed in the exergue. The royal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically down the right field. |

Struck at Erythrai on the Ionian coast, this posthumous Alexander tetradrachm belongs to a civic minting tradition that continued for over a century after Alexander's death in 323 BC. The city issued in his name not out of loyalty to any Macedonian successor but because the Alexander type had become the dominant trade currency of the eastern Aegean — rejecting it would have been commercial suicide. The Mektepini reference ties this specifically to a die study of the local series, distinguishing Erythraean output from the flood of similar posthumous issues produced across Asia Minor during the same decades.
