Tetradrachm In the name of Alexander III, Uncertain mint in Greece or Macedon

Price 861 is among the posthumous Alexander tetradrachms struck across a sprawling network of mints that continued producing coins in Alexander's name for decades after his death in 323 BC — a deliberate choice by successor rulers who understood that his image carried more commercial trust than their own. Pinning these to a specific mint remains genuinely difficult; the "uncertain Greece or Macedon" attribution reflects the current limits of die-study work rather than scholarly laziness.

The date range spans the worst of the Diadochi wars, including Ipsus in 301 BC, which effectively ended any prospect of reunifying Alexander's empire under a single ruler.
