| Obverse description | Right-facing profile bust of Athena, goddess of wisdom and warfare, rendered in fine Hellenistic relief. The deity wears a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent plume, the bowl decorated with a scroll volute above the cheek guard. Wavy locks of hair emerge beneath the helmet and fall along the neck, framing an elegant, idealized facial profile. The field is plain, with no legend, the design filling the flan with confident, high-relief artistry characteristic of Macedonian royal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, stands in three-quarter left-facing pose, rendered in graceful Hellenistic style. In her outstretched right hand she holds a wreath, symbolizing triumph, while her left hand grasps a stylis (naval standard). Beneath her left wing appears a caduceus, and beneath her right wing a star, both serving as mint control marks. The Greek ethnic legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed vertically in the right field, identifying the coinage as that of Alexander. |
