| Reverse description | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned to the left upon a stool-throne (diphros), his upper body nude, draped from the waist. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle with spread wings, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, with the mint control letter N positioned to the left of the throne, serving as a Nisyrian civic identifier. The composition follows the canonical posthumous Alexander type closely associated with Rhodian-area Carian island mints. |
