Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, depicted wearing the horn of Ammon above his ear, a characteristic attribute linking him to Zeus-Ammon. The portrait features finely rendered wavy hair swept back from the forehead and falling in thick locks behind the neck, executed in the idealized Hellenistic style. The diadem is visible across the forehead. No legend appears on the obverse, the field being otherwise plain. The engraving reflects the mature posthumous Lysimachan portrait tradition as adopted by the Byzantion mint.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, wearing a crested helmet and chiton, her right hand extended to receive a small Nike who crowns her, her left hand resting on a large grounded shield decorated with a lion-head device; a spear leans against her left shoulder. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to the right and ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ to the left frame the central figure, reading downward in the Hellenistic manner. The mint monogram ΜΔΡ appears in the left field, and the civic abbreviation BY is inscribed in the lower right field, identifying the emission as a product of the Byzantion mint. A helmet rests beneath the throne. The overall composition follows the standard Lysimachan reverse type established during the king's lifetime and perpetuated by later civic posthumous issues.
