| Reverse description | A horizontal club occupies the upper field, with the royal legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ arranged vertically in two columns across the central field, reading 'of Alexander.' Below, a bow in its case (gorytos) with a quiver is depicted, serving as the principal reverse symbol. The design is bold and schematic, typical of the bronze subsidiary coinage struck during Alexander III's reign, with the implements of Herakles and the hunt serving as dynastic emblems. |
