| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent crested plume and a coiled serpent on the bowl. The goddess's profile is rendered in finely detailed high relief, with curling locks of hair visible beneath the helmet's cheekpieces. The facial features display the idealized classical style characteristic of Macedonian royal coinage of the late 4th century BC. The field is plain, with no legend or exergual inscription on this side. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of Victory, standing to the left in flowing drapery, her wings spread behind her. In her outstretched right hand she holds a wreath, while her left hand grasps a stylis (naval standard). Beneath her left wing, a small eagle stands to the right, serving as a mint control mark. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears in the right field, denoting the coin's issue in the name of Alexander. The composition is rendered in the refined Hellenistic engraving style typical of early Alexandrine stater production. |
