| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left upon a stool-throne with footstool, his body draped from the waist, holding an eagle perched on his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre upright in his left. In the left field, the ethnic abbreviation ΑΡ appears above a sphinx seated left atop a horizontal amphora, serving as the civic symbol of Chios. The magistrate's name ΝΙΚΙΑΣ appears in the exergue. The reverse legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field in standard Alexandrine fashion, identifying the issue as struck in the name of Alexander the Great. |
