| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with delicate facial features and long hair gathered behind the neck. A wreath of laurel leaves crowns the deity's head, with locks of hair falling in a series of stylized waves and curls along the neck. The portrait is set within a dotted border and occupies the full flan, exhibiting the confident, classical draftsmanship characteristic of the Bruttian Greek minting tradition. |
