| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed stool-throne, his upper body nude and his lower body draped, holding an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. In the left field, a Nike flying right crowns the legend above a caduceus beneath her. A monogram appears below the throne, and the letter Σ (sigma) is placed in the exergue. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs in two lines flanking the enthroned deity, identifying this issue as struck in the name of Alexander the Great. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Philip III Arrhidaeus was Alexander's half-brother, widely considered intellectually disabled and kept as a figurehead king by the competing Diadochi factions after Alexander's death in 323 BC. Coinage continued to be struck in Alexander's name throughout his reign — a deliberate political choice by whoever held real power at any given moment, ensuring legitimacy through association with the conqueror rather than the puppet.
Tarsos had been a productive mint under Alexander himself, and it continued operating under the same administrative machinery into the early Successor period. Price 3044 is a well-catalogued variety within this transitional output.
