| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful, beardless head of Heracles in right profile, rendered with fine Hellenistic artistry, enveloped in the scalp of the Nemean lion whose gaping jaws frame the crown of the head and whose paws are knotted at the neck. The curling hair of Heracles is visible beneath the headdress, and the idealized facial features — strong brow, almond-shaped eye, and full lips — reflect the portrait conventions of the Lysippan school, traditionally associated with Alexander the Great himself. The flan is slightly irregular, as characteristic of hammered coinage of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in left profile upon a low throne, his seminude figure draped across the lower body. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle facing right, while his left hand grasps a tall sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the coin as that of Alexander. A bull's head facing right serves as a mint control symbol in the left field, a diagnostic feature of the Sardis mint issues catalogued under Price 2540. The composition is rendered in the confident, energetic style characteristic of early Macedonian royal coinage. |
