| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, depicted with the ram's horn of Ammon curling behind the ear, a divine attribute asserting his divine lineage. The portrait is rendered in fine Hellenistic style, with flowing, wind-swept hair falling in thick locks around the face and neck. The facial features are idealized yet powerful, with a strong jaw, prominent brow, and slightly parted lips characteristic of Alexander iconography. A dotted border frames the design on the coin's periphery. |
