| Obverse description | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with decorative elements; the portrait rendered in archaic Greek provincial style characteristic of early Pergamene civic coinage. The surfaces show heavy patination consistent with bronze coins of this early Hellenistic period. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of hammered civic bronzes of the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. |
