| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his nude torso rendered in high relief; his outstretched right hand supports an eagle with closed wings, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. The reverse legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, reading downward. A trident head appears as a mint control symbol in the left field. The composition is canonical for the Amphipolis mint issues of Alexander III, reflecting the standard reverse type established during his reign. |
