| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Nefertiti rendered in profile, depicted wearing her characteristic flat-topped crown with decorated band, in a style inspired by the famous painted limestone bust of the Egyptian queen. Small hieroglyphic cartouche symbol appears to the upper left of the effigy, with the numerals '370' visible to the right. The peripheral Latin legend arcs around the upper and lower fields, interrupted by the portrait. |
