| Obverse description | Diademed head of the deified Alexander III of Macedon facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with characteristic flowing locks radiating from the crown of the head. The distinguishing ram's horn of Ammon curves prominently above the ear, asserting Alexander's divine status as son of Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is executed in high relief with carefully articulated facial features, including a strong brow, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse field, which is unadorned save for the portrait itself. |
