Troxell organized the lifetime issues into four groups A through D. Group E which she had thought to be lifetime issue has been disproven by Le Rider and now is considered to be posthumous. Of the four lifetime issues Group C is the smallest. Troxell estimates that the issue had something like 18 dies. This suggests that it was minted sometime after the conflict with Sparta had ended. If I was to hazard a guess the date would be somewhere in the 328-324 BC time period.</p><p>Alexander III Ar Tetradrachm Amphipolis 332-326 BC Obv. Head of beardless Herakles in lionskin headdress.
