| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros seated in three-quarter view to the left on a backless throne, his upper body nude and draped in a himation across his lap and legs, holding a long sceptre in his left hand and an eagle with closed wings perched on his outstretched right hand. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears to the right of the figure, reading downward. A symbol — the forepart of a Pegasus facing right — appears in the left field as a mint control mark. The composition is characteristic of the canonical Alexandrine silver coinage struck at the Amphipolis mint. |
