Alexander the Great reigned from 336 to 323 BC but this coin was struck shortly after his death, in around 323 to 317 BC under Philip III Arrhidaios.

Philip III Arrhidaios was the king of Macedonia after the death of Alexander the Great, from 323 BC until his own death in 317 BC. He was a son of King Philip II of Macedonia and a half-brother of Alexander. Named Arrhidaios at birth, he assumed the name Philip when he ascended the throne.
As Arrhidaios grew older it became apparent that he had mild learning difficulties. Alexander was very fond of him, and took him on his campaigns, both to protect his life and to ensure he would not be used as a pawn in a challenge for the throne. After Alexander's death in Babylon, Arrhidaios was proclaimed king by the Macedonian army in Asia, but he was a mere figurehead, and a pawn of the powerful generals, one after the other.

Philip III Arrhidaios, 323 - 317 BC. Bronze Tetartemorion (Dichalkon / Quarter Obol). Struck 323 - 315 BC under Nikokreon at Salamis, Cyprus.Obverse: No legend.

The shield boss is sometimes called the episema, the Greek name for a symbol of a particular city or clan which was placed in the centre of a soldier's shield.
Reverse: Macedonian helmet surmounted with a horse hair crest; B - A (for BAΣIΛEOΣ AΛEΞANΔPOY = King Alexander) above; mint marks below the helmet, to left, a kerykeion (caduceus) and to the right, the monogram NK (for Nikokreon).

This coin is a Type 7 (Macedonian shield type) bronze Quarter-Obol (two chalkoi). Price dated the Macedonian Shield coins as beginning during the latter part of Alexander's life, c.325 BC, and ending c.310 BC. Liampi later argued, based on new hoard evidence, that they were minted as early as 334 BC. This particular coin is dated from c.323 to 315 BC during the reign of Philip III Arrhidaios.

Salamis was founded around 1100 BC by the inhabitants of Enkomi, a Late Bronze Age city on Cyprus, though in Homeric tradition, the city was established by Teucer, one of the Greek princes who fought in the Trojan War. After Alexander the Great conquered the Persian Empire, of which Salamis was a part, Greek culture and art flourished in the city and, as well as being the seat of the governor of Cyprus, it was the island's most important port.
Nikokreon had succeeded Pnytagoras on the throne of Salamis and is reported to have paid homage to Alexander after the conqueror's return from Egypt to Tyre in 331 BC. After Alexander's death, his empire was split between his generals, Cyprus falling to Ptolomy I of Egypt. In 315 BC during the war between Antigonos and Ptolemy, Nikokreon supported the latter and was rewarded by being made governor of all Cyprus. However, in 311 BC Ptolemy forced Nikokreon to commit suicide because he no longer trusted him. Ptolemy's brother, King Menelaus, was made governor in Nikokreon's stead.
In 306 BC, Salamis was the scene of a naval battle between the fleets of Ptolemy and Demetrius I of Macedon. Demetrius won the battle and captured the island.

Herakles is the son of the divine Zeus and mortal Alcemene who was cursed by the jealous Hera to murder his entire family. He then had to overcome twelve labors given to him by King Eurystheus to repent for the atrocity. The first labor (defeating the Nemean Lion) is portrayed on the obverse of this coin.

Zeus is the main king of the Olympians ruling over the realm of man. He is known to be a notorious womanizer having affairs with several divine and mortal women, which constantly makes his wife Hera extremely jealous. He is associated with lightning and the eagle (as shown on the reverse of this coin) among other symbols.

Price 3756; Waggoner Issue VIII, Series IV, 448; Newell Babylon Group 4; SC 82.2d; HGC 9, 10f. Babylon I (Royal Mint) dated to 311/10-309/08 BC by Waggoner.

(24 mm, 16.85 g, 6h).
CNG; ex- Ross Schraeder Collection

Waggoner dated this coin type to 311/10-309/08 at the peak of the Babylonian War waged between Antigonos and Seleukos. Price extended this to incude all the issues bearing the MI control accompanied by the victory wreath and accompanying monogram of Antigonos that was placed on the coinage of Babylon following his victory over Eumenes in 316. It was struck in the Royal Mint (Babylon I) at Babylon nominally after Seleukos reclaimed his Babylonian Satrapy in April 311 BC. The latter event marked the start of the Seleukid era, which is dated with Year 1 commencing in the Macedonian Year commencing October 312 BC. For this reason the coin was considered Seleukid by Houghton and Lorber. However, Seleukos was absent from Babylon for most of the period 311-308 during which time the city was essentially under Antigonid control as the Babylonian War was waged. Therefore, the coin is more correctly attributed as a Royal Macedonian issue under the authority of Antigonos Monopthalmos.

The Royal Mint was established by Alexander the Great and the output accorded to imperial standards of design and control throughout the two decades following the death of Alexander. Production from the mint declined rapidly after the conclusion of the War for Babylonia in 308 BC, the outcome of which convincingly placed the province and greater eastern region of the former Macedonian Empire firmly in the control of Seleukos. The mint may have continued to produce a low volume of coinage from four obverse tetradrachm dies until perhaps ca. 305 BC when it closed; its operations transferred to the mint at Seleukeia on the Tigris. True to its name Babylon Imperial Mint produced coinage only in the name of Alexander and briefly Philip (Arrhidaios), but never in the name of Seleukos.

Kings of Macedon, Alexander IV or Philip III Arrhidaios323-317 BC
AE half unit, 16 mm, 4.2 grams, 180 degrees

O: Gorgoneion head facing in the centre of a shield surrounded by five double crescents with five dots between them.

R: B-A across fields, Macedonian helmet with cheek pieces. Rose in lower left field.

Ref: Price 2070; HGC 3 958a. This is a difficult one. Alexander IV was not really a king except in name. One source says minted under Asandros, circa 323-319 BC. Another source lists it as Phillip III Arrhidaios. Hard to tell if the image inside the shield is a gorgoneion or Herakles, but I think gorgoneion.

Ship ahoy ... on the Euphrates River in Babylon!

Diminutive but thought provoking is the galley prow mint control of this coin ... some of Alexander's fleet constructed in India even found its way here after the eastern anabasis. Perhaps easy to see why these types were incorrectly attributed to Arados by Price and earlier workers. The concept of ships in the desert is unusual to say the least, but proven in the written historical record and evidenced on a few of the coins of Babylon!

This reverse die used for this coin was originally used to strike the previous issue, Price 1753, with vertical barley grain below the throne. Here one can see the remnant of the barley grain after an attempt was made to “erase” it in the die. Moreover, this coin was struck from the same obverse die as the plate coin for Price 1753.

This coin is a die match for Nomos Web Auction 6, Lot 330, 11/20/2016 (https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3481680)

Subsequent to his death in 323 BC, Alexander the Great's sister, Cleopatra, traveled to Sardes (Autumn 322 BC) to lure a husband from among her brother's former generals (who had already begun warring over Alexander's empire). Over the course of the next two years she was visited twice by Alexander's former secretary and now dashing outlaw general, Eumenes of Cardia. The first time Eumenes brought an offer of marriage from the general Perdiccas, who Cleopatra turned away (rightfully, it turned out, as he was killed by his own troops after failing in battle vs. Ptolemy in Egypt). The second time (320 BC) Eumenes offered to ally with Cleopatra to combine his military might and her royal legitimacy.(This was not an offer of marriage, as Eumenes was not Macedonian.) To impress the princess, Eumenes paraded his cavalry back and forth before Sardes. But Cleopatra, though she granted Eumenes an audience, was not willing to become his partisan. Throughout the wars that followed Cleopatra never married or even left Sardes, where she remained as a veritable damsel in the tower keep until her death by assassination in 308 BC.

This reverse die used for this coin was originally used to strike the previous issue, Price 1753, with vertical barley grain below the throne. Here one can see the remnant of the barley grain after an attempt was made to “erase” it in the die. Moreover, this coin was struck from the same obverse die as the plate coin for Price 1753.
