IONIA, Magnesia ad Maeandrum. Circa 282-225 BC. AR Tetradrachm (32mm, 16.98 g, 12h). In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monogram in left field, maeander pattern in exergue. Price 2025 var. (monogram). Near EF, toned. Rare.

The monogram as represented on this coin may actually be the correct reading for Price 2025. Price references two coins in the Kirazli hoard, but both are not illustrated, and the monogram in the text is different from that in Price. Also, the Meydancikkale coin Price also cites has a countermark obscuring the monogram.
