Reverse description Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a stool-throne, his nude torso depicted in three-quarter view with drapery across his lap and lower limbs. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle with spread wings, while his left hand grasps a tall sceptre. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. In the left field appears the regnal date IΓ (year 13), serving as a mint control mark. The composition follows the canonical reverse type established for posthumous Alexander tetradrachms, with careful attention to the god's authoritative posture.
