| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a flowing horsehair crest. The goddess's facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, displaying a strong aquiline profile. The neck is partially draped, and the hair falls in thick locks beneath the helmet's cheekpiece. The flan displays the characteristic irregular edge typical of hammered Macedonian gold coinage of this period. |

She extends her right arm forward to place a wreath, while her left hand holds a stylus or naval aplustre. Her flowing chiton falls in fine drapery folds to her feet. In the left field, a monogram is visible, and the Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. |
