| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style with naturalistic hair curls falling behind the neck. The portrait occupies the majority of the obverse field, with coarse flan edges characteristic of small provincial Mysian bronze coinage. The facial features display a broad forehead, prominent nose, and short beard typical of 4th century BC civic bronzes from the Propontis region. |
