| Obverse description | Stylized effigy of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in a strongly barbarized Celtic-Scythian idiom derived from the Lysimachos prototype. The portrait features a pellet above the forehead in place of the horn of Ammon, with the letter Theta (Θ) positioned below the nose in the field. The facial features are schematized, with a bold, curved neck truncation typical of Pontic and Kolchian imitative coinage of this period. |
