| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent serpent crest and a coiled plume, rendered in fine relief characteristic of the Alexandrine die-cutting tradition. The goddess's facial features are finely articulated, with a strong brow, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips visible beneath the helmet's cheek guard. Loose locks of hair escape from beneath the helmet and fall onto the neck. The field is plain, with no legend or border visible on the obverse. |

| 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. |
