Alexander III AR drachm (3.95 g). Uncertain mint in Asia Minor, posthumous issue, third century BC. 

Head of young Herakles right wearing lionskin headdress.
ALEXANDROY, Zeus seated left, holding eagle and sceptre.
Bee in circle in left field. 

Unpublished. 

It is tempting to describe this as a barbarous imitation 
of Ephesus, but Price lists no Ephesian drachm variety 
with a circled bee that could have served as a prototype.
