| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a stool-throne, his upper body semi-nude and draped at the waist; his outstretched right hand supports an eagle facing right, while his left hand firmly grasps a tall sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading downward. Mint control monograms appear in the left field and beneath the throne, serving as identifying marks for the Magnesia ad Maeandrum mint. The overall composition follows the standard Alexandrine reverse type, rendered with the confident yet slightly provincial hand characteristic of this Ionian workshop. |
