Beschrijving voorzijde Youthful beardless head of Heracles in right-facing profile, depicted in the Macedonian royal tradition as a heroic effigy of Alexander III. The hero wears the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the beast's gaping jaws framing the top of the head, its forelegs knotted at the throat, and the mane rendered in bold, deeply cut curling locks fanning across the field. The facial features are finely modelled with a strong brow, well-defined nose, and slightly parted lips, reflecting the high-quality engraving characteristic of late Hellenistic Pamphylian mint production. No legend appears on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a stool-throne, his upper body nude and his lower body draped; he extends his right hand forward, upon which an eagle with closed wings is perched, and holds a long sceptre upright in his left hand. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field in Greek characters, reading downward. The regnal date ΚΔ (year 24 of the Seleucid era, corresponding to 198/197 BC) appears in the left field. The composition follows the standard posthumous Alexander type with the controlled die style associated with the Perge mint.
