| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III the Great facing right, his flowing hair rendered in voluminous curls falling behind the neck, adorned with the horn of Ammon curling above the right ear — a divine attribute asserting his status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays the characteristic idealized Hellenistic style, with a smooth, youthful facial profile, strong brow, and slightly parted lips. The diadem is finely detailed, tied at the back with trailing ends visible in the hair. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
