Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed and heroically idealized head of the deified Alexander the Great facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, voluminous locks of hair swept back from the brow. A small but distinctly curved horn of Ammon projects from the temple, asserting Alexander's divine association with Zeus-Ammon. The portrait is set within a plain inner field bordered by a delicate dotted bead-and-reel circle, with no legend present on the obverse. The high-relief effigy displays exceptional artistry, with carefully engraved facial features including a straight nose, defined lips, and a pronounced upswept hairstyle characteristic of official Lysimachean coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde Athena Nikephoros seated left on a throne, draped, her right hand extending forward to receive Nike, who crowns the royal epithet in the legend field; her left arm rests upon a large round shield decorated with a lion's head boss. A transverse spear is placed diagonally behind the goddess. In the inner left field, a flower serves as a mint control symbol. The two-line Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ above and ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΟΥ below identifies the issuing authority as King Lysimachus of Thrace.
