| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo facing right, rendered in a youthful and idealized Hellenistic style, bound with a tainia. The hair is rendered in short, layered waves swept back from the forehead, with individual locks finely detailed. The facial features display a serene, classical expression characteristic of Macedonian royal coinage of the late 4th century BC. No legend appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | A nude or lightly draped rider on a prancing horse moving left, depicted in a dynamic pose with the horse's forelegs raised. A thunderbolt symbol appears in the lower field beneath the horse. The Greek legend AΛEΞANΔPO (Alexander) arcs around the upper field, identifying the coin as struck in the name of Alexander III. The composition follows the standard Macedonian bronze type associated with the reigns of Philip III Arrhidaeus. |
