Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed head of the deified Alexander III (the Great) facing right, portrayed in the Hellenistic tradition with flowing locks of hair rendered in fine detail. The effigy bears the horn of Ammon curling from behind the ear, proclaiming Alexander's divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The facial features display the idealized portraiture characteristic of late 4th- to early 3rd-century BC die-cutting, with a strong profile, slightly parted lips, and a serene yet commanding expression. The diadem is tied at the back with trailing ends visible among the locks. The field is plain, with no legend on the obverse.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros enthroned facing left, depicted in full martial panoply with crested helmet. In her extended right hand she holds a winged Nike who crowns the royal legend; her left arm rests upon a large round shield ornamented with a lion's head boss. A spear leans against her left shoulder. To the inner left field, an additional apotropaic lion's head symbol faces left, serving as a mint or issue control mark. The royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ ('of King Lysimachus') is disposed in two lines to the right of the enthroned figure, identifying the issuing authority. The composition follows the canonical Lysimachean reverse type struck at Amphipolis during the final years of Lysimachus's reign.
