Notes and attribution courtesy James Schell: Price, emphasizing the use of the control mark "janiform head" on the earliest Macedonian
issues of Alexander III, suggested that the terminus ante quem for this group should be c. 336 BC, rather than c. 329/8 BC.

16mm x 17mm, 4.04g
Price --; C. Hersh, "Additions and Corrections to Martin J. Price's 'The Coinage in the name of Alexander the Great and Philip
Arrhidaeus'" Studies Price --
Note: An unrecorded control for this denomination, which copies exactly the tetradrachm Price 121, and apparently quite rare (because of the
thoroughness of Price's monumental study and the fact that most things not included there were caught by Hersh, seldom does one find an Alexander
not recorded in either).
Follow-up notes from Lawrence Woolslayer: It's unpublished, but Hyla
Troxell knew they were out there - she just never saw one. The symbol is
attributed by her to Amphipolis. It falls under her Group I. (Not a one,
but the letter after H). Group I did not have enough coins for her to
comment about them. There are some tetradrachms she saw of course. She only
includes them as a transition between groups I and J in a die-link study.
Group I1 looks like a M with a cross bar; I2 looks like an A, bracketed on
either side by a |, and with a small circle above; and then I3 which is
this symbol.
She states on page 37 that "no Alexander small coins [a lumping of
anything below a didrachm] are found after group F," but then just below
that statement reopens the door listing groups "K-J and perhaps
I" together chronologically. ca. 323-320(310), right alongside the
Philip II reissues.

Note: R. Ashton presented a case for this coinage having been struck by Perseus to pay Cretan mercenaries serving in his army during the 3rd
Macedonian War (see “A Series of Pseudo-Rhodian Drachms from Mainland Greece,” NC 1988, pp. 29-30). The Rhodian coinage circulated on
Crete, where it was a familiar and trusted currency for the Cretans. It is likely that they would have required payment in that form, which is
why we find the Rhodian style rose on the reverse of this issue (see also Ashton, SM 146 (May 1987), p. 34).
