"Light marks and with traces of overstriking, otherwise, very fine. Interestingly, this coin was overstruck on another Alexander tetradrachm. On the obverse, one can still discern 'ΣΙΛ' for ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, while the reverse clearly shows the manes of the lion's scalp."  +

"Overstruck on a tetradrachm of Athens (head of Athena visible on the reverse, portions of the owl visible on the obverse); very rare thus, Kraay (in Greek Coins and History) noted only 7 examples known."  +
"This coin was overstruck on an earlier issue of Apameia in Syria (HGC 9, 1419): the head of Zeus is still visible on the obverse whereas the reverse shows an elephant standing tothe right and parts of the legend (AΠ[AMEΩN] / TH[Σ IEΡAΣ] - KAI A[ΣΥΛOΥ] / Σ[...]). Unfortunately, the date is not fully readable, but it is likely ΣE = SE 237 = 76/5 BC"  +
