| Reverse description | Macedonian crested helmet shown in profile, with a prominent crest, flared cheek pieces, and a neck guard, rendered in the military style associated with Macedonian royal coinage. To the lower left of the helmet, a kerykeion (caduceus, the staff of Hermes) is depicted. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ, abbreviated as Β and Α flanking the helmet, identifies the issuing authority. The composition is spare and heraldic, consistent with the martial imagery employed across the Argead bronze coinage of this period. |
