| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III the Great facing right, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style with flowing, voluminous hair swept back from the forehead. A prominent horn of Ammon curls behind the ear, symbolizing Alexander's claimed divine descent from Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is finely engraved with strong facial features, including a well-defined brow, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A beaded border encircles the coin's periphery. The effigy closely follows the canonical posthumous portrait type established by Lysimachus for his coinage. |
