| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his upper body nude and a himation draped across his lap and legs. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle facing outward, while his left hand grasps a long upright sceptre. An anchor symbol appears in the left field, serving as a Seleucid dynastic control mark, accompanied by a monogram. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs in two lines along the right and lower fields, identifying the coin as issued in the name of King Alexander. |
