He extends his right hand forward holding an eagle with spread wings, while his left hand rests upon a long sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. In the left field, a bunch of grapes appears in the lower register as a mint control symbol. A dotted border encircles the design. |

Struck at Pella roughly four decades after Alexander's death, this issue belongs to a long sequence of posthumous tetradrachms that continued well into the third century BC under the Successors. By the 280s, such coins functioned as a trans-regional trade currency across the eastern Mediterranean — Alexander's types were trusted where newer dynastic issues were not. Price 589 is among the later Pella emissions, distinguishable by specific control marks that help reconstruct the mint's administrative sequences during the turbulent years of Antigonus Gonatas's consolidation of Macedonian power.
