| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Athena Alkidemos striding energetically to the right, her right arm raised and extended forward to hurl a spear, while her left arm thrusts outward bearing a large round shield. She wears a crested Corinthian helmet and a chiton with aegis. In the right field, an eagle with closed wings stands facing right atop a thunderbolt, serving as an early Ptolemaic dynastic emblem. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ appears in the field, attributing the issue to Alexander. |
