| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, depicted with the ram's horn of Ammon curling behind the ear, a divine attribute linking him to Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is rendered in the idealized Hellenistic style with flowing, wind-swept hair swept back from the forehead, executed in high relief with fine engraving detail. The broad, flat flan accommodates the oversized portrait filling nearly the entire obverse field. No legend appears on the obverse, the divine effigy serving as the sole identifying element. |
