Ancient Greek Hellenistic silver tetradrachm struck in Pamphylia circa 208–207 BCE, issued in the name of Alexander the Great.
Obverse
Head of Heracles right, wearing the lion skin headdress, a classic and powerful symbol associated with strength and divine favor.
Reverse
Zeus Aëtophoros seated left on a throne, holding an eagle and scepter, with Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (“of Alexander”). Control marks and monograms consistent with Pamphylian mint issues of the late 3rd century BCE.
This type belongs to the long-running Alexander tetradrachm series struck after Alexander’s death, reflecting the enduring prestige of his name and iconography across the Hellenistic world.
The coin retains a natural ancient silver patina, with even wear from circulation and fully legible types. No evidence of modern tooling or surface alteration observed.
