| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a prominent crest and coiled serpent on the bowl, rendered in fine high-relief engraving characteristic of the Macedonian royal mint tradition. The goddess's flowing hair cascades in wavy locks beneath the helmet's cheekpiece and neckguard, framing a classically idealized profile with delicate facial features. A small earring is visible at the ear. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with no surrounding legend, the entire field dominated by the bold effigy. |

| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing left in flowing drapery, holding a wreath extended in her right hand and a stylis (naval standard) in her left hand. In the right field, a corn-ear (grain symbol) appears above the wing of Nike, with a double-axe (labrys) symbol positioned below the wing, serving as mint control marks for the Miletus issue. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, denoting issuance in the name of Alexander. The composition is executed in the canonical Macedonian stater style established under Alexander III. |
