| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned in left profile, nude to the waist with a himation draped over his lower body and legs, seated on a high-backed throne with a footstool beneath his feet. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle facing left, and in his raised left hand he grasps a long sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ is inscribed vertically in the left field, with the mint abbreviation ΣΙ below, identifying the issuing city of Sinope. A control symbol appears in the right field. The composition follows the canonical Lysippan prototype established for Alexander III coinage. |
