| Reverse description | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his nude torso draped from the waist, holding an eagle on his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his left. In the left field stands a figure of Demeter facing, holding two torches, serving as a mint control symbol specific to the Lampsacus issue. Below the throne appears a monogram serving as a secondary control mark. The Greek legend AΛEΞANΔPOY runs along the right field, denoting the coinage of Alexander. The reverse composition follows the canonical type established for Alexander III's silver coinage throughout his empire. |
