| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his seminude body draped across the lower limbs, holding a small eagle standing with spread wings on his outstretched right hand and a long scepter upright in his left. The throne legs are ornately decorated with spherical finials, and a groundline runs beneath the composition. To the left field, a monogram composed of the letters Γ, Ν, and Α is visible, serving as a magistrate or mint control mark; a small anchor symbol appears below the monogram. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs downward along the right field. The style and control marks are consistent with the civic posthumous issues struck at Cyme in Aeolis, as catalogued under Price 1626. |
