| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in the Attic-Corinthian style characteristic of Alexandrine coinage. The goddess wears a triple-crested Corinthian helmet, the bowl of which is decorated with a coiled serpent in relief. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic workmanship, displaying a well-modeled profile with delicate proportions consistent with eastern mint production of the period. |

| Reverse description | Nike, goddess of victory, standing in three-quarter view to the left, her wings spread behind her. She extends her right hand forward to present a victor's wreath, while her left hand holds a stylis (ship's steering oar), an attribute associating the imagery with naval victory. The ethnic legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, with the control mark Χ placed in the left field. The composition is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style typical of posthumous Alexandrine stater issues attributable to an uncertain eastern mint. |
