| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III (the Great) facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style, with flowing hair swept back from the forehead and the distinctive ram's horn of Ammon curling behind the ear, symbolizing his divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is enclosed within a fine beaded border. The effigy displays strong, idealized facial features characteristic of court die-engravers working under Lysimachus, with the diadem rendered in detail across the brow. |
