| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Alexander the Great facing right, depicted wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion over his head, the gaping leonine jaws visible above the brow — an iconographic type associating the Macedonian king with Heracles. The hair falls in thick, naturalistically rendered locks around the neck. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic style characteristic of early Ptolemaic bronze coinage, with strong modelling of the facial features. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle with closed wings stands in left profile upon a thunderbolt, a symbol of Zeus and of Ptolemaic royal authority. The eagle's head is turned to face left, and its talons grip the thunderbolt firmly. The Greek legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ is disposed in two columns flanking the eagle, reading from left to right. The composition is compact and heraldic, consistent with the canonical reverse type established for Ptolemaic bronze coinage of this period. |
