| Obverse description | Highly stylized and barbarized head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, derived from the Lysimachos prototype. The effigy is rendered in a distinctly Celtic abstract manner, with the facial features — eye, nose, and chin — reduced to schematic bulbous forms and pellet ornaments. The hair is depicted as flowing, flame-like ridges radiating from the crown, and the characteristic ram's horn of Ammon, an attribute of Alexander's divine status, is suggested by a curved element above the ear. No legend present; the field is plain. |
