<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7751956, member: 86498&quot;]It is absolutely true that Antigonos Monophthalmos did not mint coins bearing his name. There are some tetradrachms stuck with the types of Alexander bearing the name of Antigonos however, these are coins minted by his descendant Antigonos Gonatas. Throughout his life Antigonos only minted coins in the name and types of Alexander the Great as did most everyone else involved in the funeral games. Modern scholarship has over the last few decades managed to do a lot in separating the various posthumous issues of Alexander from each other however in many areas this dating can still be somewhat imprecise. </p><p>The only one that I have that is currently ascribed to him though there are probably many others minted under his aegis</p><p>Antigonos I Monophthalmos Ar tetradrachm Susa 316-312 BC In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon Obv Head of beardless Herakles wearing lion skin headdress right.
