Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Temnos

Temnos was a small Aeolian city on the Hermos River, and its coinage in Alexander's name dates to the late third or early second century BC — long after Alexander's death in 323 BC. The persistence of these posthumous issues reflects the commercial utility of the Alexandrine standard across the eastern Aegean, not any political allegiance to a successor dynasty. Temnos operated with considerable autonomy under this arrangement.

Price 1665 is documented but not among the more frequently encountered Temnian issues, the city's output having been modest relative to the major Aegean mints.
