Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Pella

Price 213 is among the earlier posthumous issues struck at Pella following Alexander's death in 323 BC, though the type was already being produced in his lifetime. The Pella mint ramped up production dramatically during the eastern campaigns to pay soldiers and satraps, and the sheer volume struck means die-links across this series are unusually well-documented — Price's corpus identified dozens of obverse dies for this type alone.

The 325–315 BC window straddles the transition from lifetime to posthumous issue, a distinction that remains contested for individual specimens without die-matching.
