Obverse

Helmeted head of Athena, goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, facing right.

Reverse

Nike, the winged goddess of Victory, advancing with wreath and stylis.

Inscribed ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ (“Of Alexander”), proclaiming eternal victory in his name.

This reverse type announced divine-sanctioned conquest to every corner of the ancient world.
