Pamphylia

Kings of Macedonia. In the name and types of Alexander III 'the Great' (336-323 BC). Pamphylia, Perge. Dated CY 24 (198/7 BC). Tetradrachm (Silver, 29 mm, 15.64 g). Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion-skin headdress. Countermark: Seleukid anchor in an oval incuse on the lion skin behind the ear. Rev: ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ ("Of Alexander"). Zeus seated left on throne, holding eagle on outstretched right hand and sceptre in left. ΚΔ (date) in left field; Φ below throne. Reference: Cf. Price, The Coinage in the Name of Alexander the Great and Philip Arrhidaeus, 2938. Perge, a Greek city of Pamphylia, struck silver tetradrachms in the name and types of Alexander the Great more than a century after his death, dated year by year by a local era beginning in 221/0 BC. The series ended in 189/8 BC; Meadows linked its close to the end of a period of Seleukid-sponsored freedom for the city. Many of these coins were later countermarked with the Seleukid anchor, authorising them again for circulation within the Seleukid kingdom.
