| Obverse description | Bearded male head facing right, rendered in a crude local imitation of Athenian or Persian Achaemenid style. The hair is depicted in thick, stylized strands swept back from the forehead, and a prominent beard frames the jaw. The facial features, including a well-defined eye, nose, and mouth, are boldly struck in high relief against a plain field. The overall style reflects the provincial workshops of the southern Levantine coast during the Persian period. |
