| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in high relief with finely rendered classical features. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, adorned with an elaborate coiled serpent on the bowl and a decorative crest. Flowing curls of hair emerge beneath the helmet, cascading along the neck. The portrait is executed in the accomplished Hellenistic style characteristic of the Lampsakos mint, with a broad, open field surrounding the effigy. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of victory, stands facing left in three-quarter view, draped in a flowing chiton that reveals the upper torso. She extends her right arm forward to hold a wreath, while her large, spread wings are visible behind her. In the left field, a tau-rho monogram (mint control mark) appears above a small secondary symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. The composition reflects the canonical reverse type established under Alexander III and continued by successor mints. |
