| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena (assimilated to Minerva) facing left, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with a prominent bowl and cheekguards. The facial features are rendered in a somewhat schematic style characteristic of late Massalian bronze coinage. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |
