| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the goddess of victory, stands facing left in flowing drapery, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a stylis (naval standard) in her left hand. To the left of the figure, in the upper field, appears the forepart of a lion facing left above a monogram, serving as mint or magistrate control marks. A boukranion (ox skull) is placed beneath Nike's left wing. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs to the right of the figure in elegant Greek capitals, denoting issue in the name of Alexander the Great. |

Struck at Sestos — the Thracian Chersonese mint active during the Lysimachean consolidation of power following Alexander's death — this issue postdates Alexander himself by nearly two decades. The "in the name of Alexander" convention was a deliberate political instrument: Lysimachus, securing control over Thrace and the Hellespont corridor, exploited Alexander's name to legitimize coinage from newly acquired mints. Sestos controlled one of the narrowest and most strategically vital Bosphorus crossings, making its mint output as much a geopolitical statement as a financial one.
