| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III (the Great) facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing locks of hair and the distinctive ram's horn of Ammon curling before the ear, signifying his divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is youthful and idealized, wearing a royal diadem, with the hair swept back in characteristic waves. The flan is irregular and the field is plain, with no legend. |
