Reverse description Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, stands facing left in three-quarter view, her large, finely detailed wings spread symmetrically behind her. She wears a flowing chiton and holds a stylis (ship's sternpost ornament) in her outstretched left hand, while her right arm is partially extended. A small figure or symbol appears in the lower left field. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed vertically along the right field, reading downward. The composition reflects the canonical reverse type of Alexandrine gold staters, executed with vigorous Hellenistic artistic style.
