KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. AR Tetradrachm (28.5mm, 17.25 g, 9h). Tarsos mint. Struck under Menes or Philotas, circa 327-323 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; upright plow in left field, Θ below throne, pellet above right arm. Price 3034; Newell, Tarsos 40 (obv. die XL [unlisted for issue]). VF, test cut and minor double strike on obverse.

The addition of obverse die XL to those used for this issue is not surprising, as Newell’s study already identified the use of dies XXXIX and XLI for the issue.
