Beschrijving voorzijde Right-facing heroic head of Herakles in three-quarter relief, wearing the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the lion's mane rendered in flowing, deeply cut locks framing the face and neck. The portrait is executed in the vigorous Lysippan tradition, with bold modeling of the facial features and a prominent, well-defined jaw. The lion's skin is tied beneath the chin, its paws visible across the shoulder. A dotted border is visible along the coin's periphery. The flan is irregular, consistent with hand-struck production of the late Macedonian posthumous series.

Beschrijving keerzijde Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a high-backed throne adorned with a beaded frame, his upper body nude and his lower body draped. He extends his right arm forward to support a perched eagle with open wings, while his left hand grasps a long scepter upright. The legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs vertically along the right field. A control symbol, identified as a torch or kantharos, appears in the left field below the eagle, and a monogram or letter (kappa) is visible beneath the throne in the exergue. The composition reflects the canonical reverse type established under Alexander III and continued throughout the posthumous coinage.
