| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful bare head of Herakles facing right, depicted beardless, enveloped in the scalp and mane of the Nemean lion, the jaws of the beast framing the hero's face and the paws knotted at the throat. The portrait is rendered in fine high relief characteristic of the Amphipolis mint, with naturalistic facial modeling, almond-shaped eye, and gently parted lips. The lion skin headdress is rendered with detailed feathering of the scalp and folded ear visible above the temple. No legend appears on the obverse. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his nearly nude body draped about the lower limbs, extending his right hand forward upon which an eagle stands with closed wings, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the coin as that of Alexander. A six-pointed star symbol appears in the left field, serving as the mint control mark for the Amphipolis issue. The composition is characteristic of the canonical Alexander-type reverse established at the Amphipolis mint. |
