Reverse description Nike, the goddess of victory, standing in three-quarter view facing left, rendered in elegant Hellenistic style. She extends her right hand forward to present a wreath, while her left hand holds a stylis (ship's steering oar), an attribute referencing naval victory. In the left field, a monogram appears above a pentagram, and at the feet of Nike a serpent is depicted, serving as a mint control symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the coin as issued in the name of Alexander.
