| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned to the left upon a high-backed throne, his body draped, holding an eagle in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the upper and right fields. To the left of the throne, a crested Macedonian helmet is positioned above the control letters XO, and below the throne the mint monogram HPA identifies the Mesembrian issue. The composition follows the canonical posthumous Alexandrine reverse type with locally distinctive control symbols. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mesembria, the ancient Greek colony on the Black Sea coast of modern Bulgaria, struck posthumous Alexanders well into the second century BC — long after the Macedonian kingdom itself had collapsed under Roman pressure at Pydna in 168 BC. These issues were purely commercial instruments, sustaining trade networks around the Pontic littoral that had little interest in whatever was happening in Macedonia or Rome. Price 1101 is among the later Mesembrian issues, distinguished by its control marks from the broader posthumous series.
