| Obverse description | Diademed head of Ptolemy I facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portraiture style characteristic of early Ptolemaic coinage. The effigy, though diminutive in scale due to the coin's fractional denomination, displays the king's distinctive facial profile with the royal diadem clearly indicated. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of small Judaean silver fractions of the period. The relief is boldly struck relative to the coin's tiny size, with the portrait dominating the obverse field. |
