| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in three-quarter relief, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a coiled serpent on the bowl and a prominent transverse crest. Long, wavy locks of hair flow from beneath the helmet down the neck and behind the ear. The facial features are rendered with high artistic quality, displaying a refined Hellenistic style. The field is plain, with no legend, consistent with the Alexandrine stater type. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, standing facing left in flowing chiton and himation, her large, finely detailed wings spread upward and outward. She holds a wreath in her outstretched left hand and a naval standard or stylis in her right. The bilingual legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the left and ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ to the right flanks the central figure, reading 'of King Alexander.' The type follows the standard Alexandrine gold stater reverse design, struck at the mint of Soloi under the Cypriot king Pasikrates. |
