Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic portrait tradition with characteristically voluminous, flowing locks of hair swept back from the forehead. A small horn of Ammon curls above the right ear, asserting Alexander's divine descent and his identification with Zeus-Ammon. The facial features are finely modeled with a smooth, youthful complexion, a prominent straight nose, and slightly parted lips. The portrait fills the flan with commanding presence, with no surrounding legend, the design relying entirely on the iconic effigy for identification.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros seated left upon a throne, wearing helmet and aegis, her right hand extended to hold a winged Nike who crowns the royal name in the legend above. Her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a gorgoneion in relief, while a long transverse spear leans behind her. A monogram appears in the inner left field, the civic letters BY are inscribed below the throne denoting the mint of Byzantion, and a filleted trident — the civic emblem of Byzantion — occupies the exergue. The legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ, reading 'of King Lysimachus,' frames the composition.
