There are many issues of Alexander type that were struck at various mints in the 3rd-2nd centuries BC, and they are primarily differentiated by style, combined with some hoard evidence. While the style and characteristics of the flan of the present piece suggest it is an attempt to copy the issue Price gives to Pamphylia, but it may also be from another region.
