| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros is depicted seated to the left upon a low throne with decorative legs, his upper body nude and muscular, his lower body draped. His outstretched right hand holds an eagle, while his left hand rests on a tall sceptre. To the left field, a triskeles symbol — the civic badge of Chios — is prominently placed, with a small additional control symbol above it. The vertical legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the issue as struck in the name of Alexander III. |
