Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed head of Alexander the Great in right-facing profile, rendered with exceptional high-relief modeling and flowing hair swept back from the brow in characteristic Lysimachid style. The diadem is clearly visible binding the elaborately styled locks, while the small horn of Ammon curls subtly above and behind the right ear, asserting the subject's divine lineage as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays the idealized Hellenistic physiognomy associated with Alexander iconography: a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and a commanding, upward-gazing expression. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered coinage of this period, with the portrait filling the field generously. The fine engraving reflects the high artistic standards maintained at the Byzantion mint for this prestigious posthumous coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros seated in three-quarter view to the left upon a throne, her figure rendered in the canonical type established for Lysimachid coinage. In her extended right hand she holds a winged Nike who crowns the royal name with a wreath, while her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a central gorgoneion. A transverse spear is positioned diagonally behind her figure. In the inner left field appears the NK monogram serving as a mint control mark; the letters BY, denoting the Byzantion mint, appear on the throne. In the exergue, a filleted trident oriented to the left serves as an additional civic symbol of Byzantion. The reverse field carries the full royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ flanking the enthroned goddess.
