Go to acsearch.info, see if you can find a match. It may be lifetime issue with rose below throne, a Price 2571. Nice coin, good metal.

I was thinking that:

uncrossed legs = lifetime issue
crossed legs = posthumous issue

but in doing some further reading, it looks like plenty of coins with Zeus' legs uncrossed were also issued after Alexander The Great's death.

I remember hearing uncrossed legs is lifetime issue as a general rule but I don't think that's correct anymore.
