| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in left profile upon a low throne without a back, his nude torso rendered with muscular authority. His extended right arm supports an eagle with folded wings, while his left hand grasps a tall lotus-tipped sceptre resting against his shoulder. In the left field, a janiform-head kantharos (double-headed vessel) serves as the mint control symbol. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the coinage as that of Alexander, and is executed in clear archaic-influenced lapidary characters. The composition reflects the canonical reverse type established for the Alexandrine silver coinage. |
