| Reverse description | Zeus Aetophoros enthroned left on a low backless throne, his body draped from the waist, holding a long upright scepter in his raised left hand and extending his right hand to support an eagle standing right with wings closed. The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ to the left reads 'of King Alexander.' A crescent symbol and a monogram appear in the left field, and a further control monogram is placed beneath the throne, serving as mint or magistrate marks characteristic of Seleucid issues struck in the name of Alexander. |
