| Obverse description | Bare head of a youthful male deity, most likely Apollo or a river god, facing right, rendered in a bold and somewhat archaic provincial Greek style. The hair is rendered in thick wavy locks flowing back from the forehead, with individual strands delineated in strong relief. The facial features are broad and schematic, characteristic of the Olbian bronze coinage of this period. The field is plain and unadorned, with no visible legend or inscription on this side. |
