Imitates style of Alexander tetradrachm.

Gerrha was a wealthy Arabian kingdom on the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula during the Hellenistic period, known for its opulent trade in goods like frankincense and myrrh. Its strategic location near the Persian Gulf made it a crucial hub for trade between the Mediterranean and the East. Descriptions from Greek and Roman sources depict a prosperous city and one that was well connected.
