Tetradrachm

Descrizione del dritto	Youthful, beardless head of Heracles in right-facing profile, clad in the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, the leonine jaws framing the crown of the head and the pelt falling across the neck and shoulder. The facial features are rendered with fine die-work, displaying a strong brow, aquiline nose, and slightly parted lips. Naturalistically engraved curls of hair emerge beneath the lion skin headdress. The entire design is enclosed within a finely beaded border.

Descrizione del rovescio	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.
