| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress with the paws knotted at the throat, rendered in high relief with finely detailed flowing mane. The facial features are idealized and classically proportioned, consistent with the Alexandrine portrait tradition. The coin is bordered by a delicate beaded (dotted) circle near the rim. |

Struck at Tarsos under Philip III Arrhidaeus, Alexander's half-brother who was proclaimed king immediately after Alexander's death in Babylon in 323 BC — largely because he was present and the generals needed a figurehead. Arrhidaeus had been kept deliberately obscure during Alexander's lifetime, possibly due to a cognitive disability, and real power was exercised by the regent Perdiccas. The Tarsos mint continued producing coinage in Alexander's name throughout this period, a deliberate political signal of continuity during the wars of the Diadochi. Philip III was murdered on Olympias's orders in 317 BC, ending the regency fiction.
