| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his outstretched right hand supporting an eagle with closed wings, while his left hand rests upon a long upright sceptre. In the left field, a monogram appears above a sphinx seated right, serving as the civic control mark of the Chian mint. The reverse legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field, identifying the issue as struck in the name of Alexander III. The composition follows the canonical posthumous Alexandrine reverse type. |
