Beschrijving voorzijde Heroic effigy of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, rendered as a diademed head with the curling ram's horn of Ammon emerging above the ear, asserting his divine descent from Zeus-Ammon. The portrait displays the characteristic thick, flowing locks of hair rendered in bold relief, with the diadem tied around the head in the Hellenistic royal manner. The facial features are idealized and youthful, executed in the refined sculptural style characteristic of Lysimachean coinage. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse, the imagery alone conveying the ruler's divine legitimacy.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, clad in chiton and aegis, extending her right hand to present a Nike who crowns the royal legend, while her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a lion's head boss. A long transverse spear leans against her left shoulder. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ runs in two lines framing the figure, identifying this as coinage struck in the name of King Lysimachus. A civic monogram appears in the left field, serving as a mint control mark for the Byzantion issue.
