背面描述	Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, stands facing left in full figure, her large spread wings rising dramatically behind her. She is dressed in a flowing chiton and holds a naval crown (stylis) in her outstretched right hand, symbolising maritime supremacy. In the left field at her feet stands a kantharos (wine vessel), serving as a mint or control symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs downward along the right field, attributing the issue to Alexander. The composition is rendered with characteristic vigour of the early Tarsian issues.

附加信息	Struck at Tarsos during Alexander's eastern campaigns, this issue dates to a period when the mint was operating under intense military demand — Alexander needed coin to pay his army, and Tarsos, captured in 333 BC after his near-fatal illness there, became one of the first Asian mints pressed into production for that purpose. Price 3005 is among the earliest of the Tarsos gold staters, issued before the administrative machinery of conquest had fully settled into routine. The Tarsos mint closed for Alexandrine gold by around 327 BC as production consolidated eastward.
