Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon / Athena Nikephoros seated left, left arm resting on shield, spear behind; monograms to inner left and outer right. Thompson 199; Müller -. VF, toned.


There are indications of previous markings in the exergue that were erased in the die. Perhaps this die was originally configured as Thompson 209, which has the same inner left monogram, but with the other monogram in the exergue along with another monogram.
