| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck at Corinth after Alexander's death in 323 BC, this coin was issued under the authority of the successors — likely during the period when Demetrius Poliorcetes controlled the Peloponnese. Corinth was a natural mint site: it had long-standing silver-working expertise and controlled the Isthmus, making it a strategic hub for paying troops moving between Greece and the east. The city itself changed hands repeatedly during the Wars of the Diadochi, and the mint output reflects that instability in its relatively short production window.
Price 1700–1704 groups several die marriages from this facility. The Corinthian issues are distinguished from other posthumous Alexander tetradrachms by subtle differences in die style traceable to local engravers.
