Additional information

Price 240 places this issue among the earliest Pella mint tetradrachms struck under Alexander's lifetime authority, though the dating window extends into the first years of the succession wars — meaning some examples from this die pairing may have been struck under Antipater's regency rather than Alexander's direct administration. Pella, as the Macedonian royal capital, was among the first mints to adopt the standardized Alexander coinage type, and its early issues are distinguished from contemporaneous eastern mint production by subtly different die axis conventions and metal fineness.
