| Obverse description | Draped bust of Apollo facing right, with flowing hair bound by a taenia or stephane, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of Carian civic coinage. The portrait is set within a broad, plain field with no visible legend or border inscription. The facial features are finely detailed, displaying a youthful, idealized profile characteristic of Apollo's iconography in the region. |
