The seller claims it's an Alexander iii coin, but judging from the styling, my guess is it's Indo-Greek from much later on, but I could be wrong. Just starting this hobby.

Yep, not Alexander, but Menander, king of the Indo-Greek empire, circa 155-130 BC.

His coins are very common - perhaps amongst the most common of the Hellenistic series. They are also very commonly faked.
