| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with idealized, slightly upward-tilted features and flowing curly hair. A small ram's horn of Ammon curls above and behind the ear, signifying Alexander's divine association with Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is rendered in high relief with careful attention to facial musculature and a serene, heroic expression. A beaded border surrounds the field. |
