| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, stands in left-facing profile, her figure rendered in flowing drapery that falls in elegant folds. She extends her right hand forward to present a wreath, while her left hand holds a stylis (ship's sternpost ornament), emblematic of naval victory. In the left field, a harpa (curved sword) serves as a mint or control symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears in the right field, identifying the coin as issued in the name of Alexander. The composition is characteristic of the standard Alexandrine gold stater type struck at numerous mints throughout the Macedonian empire. |
