Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin; Reverse: Zeus seated left on throne, holding eagle and scepter; in left field, bee left. A bold, lightly handled example of this type struck long after the death of Alexander and instead for the Pergamene king, and founder of his eponymous dynasty, Attalos I.
