Some early Alexandrine tetradrachms are stylistically similar to the late lifetime issues struck at Tarsos in the name of Alexander the Great and bear a bunch of grapes hanging from a vine branch in the left field of the reverse (Price 1991, p. 369, nos. 2988–9; Newell 1912, p. 41, nos. 68–9). The coins occur in two variants: one bears only AΛEΞANΔPOY on the reverse, whereas the other bears the royal title ΒAΣΙΛEΩΣ before AΛEΞANΔPOY (Figures 1 and 2). Their style suggests a Cilician origin, while the reverse symbol points to Nagidos, most of whose pre-Hellenistic staters depict Dionysos holding a vine branch from which a bunch of grapes hangs. M. J. Price therefore tentatively attributed these coins to the Nagidos mint and dated their issue to c. 325–320 BC (ibid., p. 369).

Since their attribution to the Nagidos mint remains uncertain, these coins are not included in the present catalogue of Nagidos coinage on this website.
