| Obverse description | Diademed portrait of Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with idealized features. A small ram's horn of Ammon curls behind his ear, affirming his divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The hair is rendered in flowing locks beneath the royal diadem, and the neck is bare. The portrait is struck in high relief, characteristic of the fine die work associated with the Magnesia mint under Lysimachos. |
