| Reverse description | Horse standing or grazing to the left, depicted in profile with naturalistic modeling of the body and legs. The Greek ethnic legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝ appears above the horse in the upper field, identifying the issuing city of Alexandria in Macedon. On certain varieties, a control symbol or monogram — such as a thunderbolt, wreath, or other civic device — appears below the horse in the lower field. The overall composition is characteristic of the civic bronze coinage of Alexandria in Macedon during the Hellenistic period. |
