| Reverse description | Athena Alkidemos striding dynamically to the left, her garments billowing, raising her right hand to hurl a thunderbolt and holding a large round shield decorated with an aegis in her extended left arm. The composition conveys martial energy and is closely associated with the royal iconography of Menander I. A dynastic monogram appears in the inner left field. The Greek royal legend encircles the design in the outer field. |
