Your tetradrachm belongs to the Babylon series with the monogram  and the letter M under the throne of Zeus like the dekadrachm and the didrachm.

In the drachm, the hemidrachm, and the obol, the monogram remains below the throne of Zeus while the letter M, perhaps for reasons of space, is placed in the left field.

Among these fractions I have in my collection the hemidrachm from Münzen & Medaillen 39, 27 Nov 2013.

Your tetradrachm is one of the issues of Alexander of Marathus with the anchor (Price 3434-51) which Newell saw to be parallel to those which he believed were of Aradus.

To the Marathus’ mint is attributed the coin series of Philip III Price P159-67 consisting of tetradrachms except for the P166 hemidrachm that I have in my collection.
