| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a high-backed throne, his body nude to the waist with a himation draped over his lower half. In his extended right hand he holds an eagle, while his left hand grasps a long sceptre. To the upper left of the throne, the monogram ΠΑΥ appears above a Macedonian helmet; below the throne, the secondary control monogram ΠΥ is inscribed. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right and upper fields, identifying the coin as issued in the name of King Alexander. |
