Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed and heroically coiffed head of the deified Alexander III (the Great) facing right, his flowing locks rendered in fine relief with characteristic spiraling curls. A small ram's horn of Ammon curls above the right ear, signifying his divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is executed in the florid Hellenistic style, with a diadem binding the hair above the forehead. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend on the obverse. The high-relief modeling of the facial features and hair reflects the accomplished die-engraving tradition of Byzantion's late Hellenistic period.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros enthroned left, wearing helmet and aegis, her left arm resting upon a large round shield set at her side, a transverse spear visible in the background behind her. In her outstretched right hand she holds a small Nike (Victory). The Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachus') runs around the upper and right fields. A monogram appears in the inner left field, the civic ethnic BY is inscribed on the throne, and an ornamented trident — the distinctive symbol of Byzantion — occupies the exergue.
