| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a high-backed throne, his upper body nude and his lower body draped, holding a long scepter upright in his left hand and extending his right hand to present an eagle perched facing left upon his outstretched wrist. A small figure, likely an eagle or control symbol, appears beneath the throne on the left. The ethnic legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed vertically to the right of Zeus, and the magistrate's name ΕΥΚΛΗС appears in the exergue below, identifying this issue as struck under the authority of the eponymous magistrate Eukles at Chios. |
