| Reverse description | Frontal lion head rendered in bold relief, with a thick stylized mane radiating outward in deeply engraved flame-like projections filling the field. The lion's face is depicted full-face with wide-set eyes, a broad flat muzzle, and open jaws, conveying an imposing heraldic quality. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed around the right side of the design, identifying the coin as an issue of Alexander of Pherai. The overall composition is a striking example of Thessalian die-engraving, combining bold iconography with crisp lettering. The flan is slightly irregular and exhibits minor die wear consistent with circulation. |
