These coins, which were presumably first struck during the late-330s B.C., feature on the obverse Alexander in the guise of the demi-god Heracles (wearing a lion scalp), and on the reverse the seated figure of the supreme Greek god Zeus, with uncrossed legs, which may indicate post humous mintage. The monograms to the left of Zeus appear to be fish. The coin is 26 mm, 16.9 grams.
