| Obverse description | Idealized head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, wearing a mitra (royal headband) adorned with a ram's horn curving from the temple — an attribute of Zeus Ammon — amid long, wavy hair rendered in fine strands. The portrait is executed in the Hellenistic tradition, combining heroic idealization with divine iconography, the ram's horn serving as the defining symbol of Alexander's claimed divine parentage. No legend appears on the obverse. |
