| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly composed colonial civic type: at left, the cult statue of Apollo Smintheus stands atop a short column, facing right, with a quiver at his shoulder, holding a patera in one hand and a bow in the other, referencing the famous sanctuary at Chryse near Alexandria Troas. At right, Alexander the Great is depicted on horseback, moving left, clad in military dress with his right arm raised in a commanding gesture, evoking the heroic founder venerated by the colony. The colonial legend COL ALEXA AVG is distributed in the field. |
