Abstract: The elephant medallions associated with the reign of Alexander the Great continue to cause controversy. A recent attempt to remove the elephant/chariot type from this corpus is based upon the die axes of three known specimens. This conclusion is false on both methodological grounds and the existence of a fourth specimen. The elephant/chariot type should not be excluded from the corpus of these medallions.
