| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a low stool-throne, his body shown in three-quarter view, with an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long sceptre held upright in his raised left hand. In the left field, a torch symbol is placed vertically, serving as a mint control mark. Below the throne, a monogram appears as an additional control symbol identifying the specific issue. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, denoting the coin's royal issuing authority. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established for Alexander III's silver coinage throughout his empire. |
