| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with flowing, tousled hair swept back from the forehead. A ram's horn of Ammon curls prominently above and behind the ear, asserting Alexander's divine association with Zeus-Ammon. The fleshy, idealized facial features display the characteristic upward gaze and slightly parted lips of the Lysimachean portrait type. No legend appears on the obverse; the field is plain. The flan is slightly irregular, consistent with hand-hammered production of the period. |
