| Reverse description | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing left in flowing drapery, holding a wreath in her extended right hand and a stylis (naval standard or ship's sternpost) in her left hand. A monogram appears in the left field, serving as a mint or officina control mark. The reverse legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed, identifying the coin as issued in the name of Alexander, with the additional letters ΔI likely serving as a secondary control mark or date indicator. The composition follows the standard Alexander-type gold stater reverse design, here adapted under Ptolemaic authority at the Memphis mint. |
