| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, wearing the horn of Ammon curling above his ear, with flowing curly hair rendered in fine Hellenistic style. The portrait is bold and highly detailed, set within a plain inner field bordered by a beaded outer rim. The facial features convey a heroic, idealized character consistent with posthumous portrait coinage of Alexander issued by his successors. |

| Reverse description | Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, wearing a crested helmet and aegis, holding a small Nike figure in her extended right hand and resting her left arm on a large round shield; a spear leans against her left shoulder. In the left field, the monogram of Lysimachos appears above the legend ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ, with ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ running along the right field. A control symbol appears in the exergue. The composition is framed by a beaded border. |
