| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low stool-throne, nude to the waist with a himation draped over his lower body and legs; his outstretched right hand supports an eagle with folded wings, while his left hand grasps a long sceptre. In the left field a Boeotian shield serves as a mint control symbol; beneath the throne a monogram appears as a secondary control mark, and in the exergue a thyrsus is placed horizontally. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs in the right field, reading downward, identifying this issue as struck in the name of Alexander. |

Price 252 places this issue firmly within the Pella mint's output during the regency struggles that followed Alexander's death in 323 BC — a period when Antipater, then Cassander, controlled Macedonia and continued striking in Alexander's name as a political assertion of legitimate succession. Cassander founded Thessalonica in 316 BC and was consolidating northern Greece with considerable urgency; the Pella mint ran at high volume to fund these campaigns.
The continued use of Alexander's name and types lasted decades at Pella, making precise dating within the series dependent on die linkage studies, of which Price's corpus remains the foundational reference.
