| Reverse description | Alexander the Great on horseback, depicted at full gallop to the right astride his celebrated horse Bucephalus, whose forelegs are raised in dynamic motion. The rider leans forward with a couched spear held at the ready, while his military chlamys billows dramatically behind him in a sweeping arc, conveying martial energy and heroic momentum. The composition closely follows the equestrian iconography associated with Macedonian royal propaganda and the Koinon's commemorative coinage under Severus Alexander. The Greek legend ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΩΝ Β ΝΕ(Ο) is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing authority and the second Neokorate honorific of the Macedonian Koinon. |
