I am trying to identify this coin, but it just does not match anything I've found, so far and it looks a little off. Also, I have not been able to take a better picture yet, but I wonder if the dark spots are base metal coming through. Thanks for any help.
I would say it is indeed from Kolophon/Colophon, in the early posthumous period, and that the type is either Price 1768 or Price 1769. Go to this Wildwinds page and scroll down to see all the info/images for both 1768 and 1769, then decide: https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/macedonia/kings/alexander_III/i.html I don't think the black spots are worrisome. If you are concerned the spots may be signs of it possibly being a fourrée -- I think you are safe. Curious: What is it that makes you suspect that the coin is a "little off"? It seems to be a decent example. Thanks for sharing it!

The Lyre emblem doesn't look like any of the examples and I just weighed it at 3.6 grams, which is lite for the type.
