| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena (Minerva) facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian-style helmet. The portrait is rendered in a schematic, late Hellenistic provincial style typical of Massalian bronze coinage. The surfaces show the characteristic flan irregularity and patination common to small bronze issues of the period. A beaded border frames the design around the coin's circumference. |
