| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a large crest and elaborate cheek guards, the neck protected by a scaled aegis. The hair flows in loose waves beneath the helmet's rim, and the finely detailed facial features reflect the high artistic standard of the Macedonian royal coinage tradition. The style closely follows the canonical Alexander-type stater obverse established under Alexander III. |

| Reverse description | Nike standing in left profile, rendered in flowing drapery, her large spread wings prominently displayed behind her. She holds a wreath extended in her right hand and a ship's stylis (naval scepter) in her left, attributes emblematic of naval victory. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically in the right field, and a KT monogram — the civic symbol of Kition — appears beneath her left wing, identifying this issue as struck under Pumiathon of Kition in the name of Alexander III. |
