| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, wearing the ram's horn of Ammon curling forward above the ear, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly detailed, flowing locks of hair cascading across the neck and shoulders. The portrait is bold and high-relief, with strong facial modeling emphasizing the slightly upturned nose and parted lips characteristic of idealized Alexandrine iconography. The field is plain, and the design is contained within a border of raised dots. |
