Reverse description Nike, the goddess of victory, stands facing left in a graceful three-quarter pose, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a stylis (ship's stern ornament) in her left. In the left field, a dot and a head of Silenus serve as subsidiary control marks identifying this emission. In the right field, a monogram appears within a wreath, functioning as an additional mint control symbol. The reverse legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the fields, invoking the authority of Alexander III despite the coin's issue under Antigonus I. The composition adheres to the canonical Alexandrine stater reverse type established across the Macedonian empire.
