| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne (diphros), his nude torso draped at the waist, holding an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. The composition conveys divine authority through the god's imposing seated stance. In the left field, a cantharus (two-handled drinking cup) serves as the mint control symbol identifying the Sardis issue. The ethnic legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, denoting the coin's attribution to Alexander. |
