| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian-style helmet pushed back on the head. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic Hellenistic style with strong relief. The surface shows a green-brown patina consistent with ancient bronze coinage of Asia Minor. |
