Obverse description Diademed head of the deified Alexander III (the Great) facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with characteristically tousled, flowing hair swept back from the brow. The small curling horn of Ammon emerges subtly above the ear, signifying Alexander's divine association with the Egyptian god Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays idealized, youthful features with a slightly upturned gaze, the diadem tied at the back with trailing ends visible. The high-relief effigy fills the flan, with no surrounding legend on the obverse.
