| Obverse description | Facing gorgoneion depicted full-face, with characteristic serpentine hair radiating outward around the visage, wide staring eyes, and prominent features rendered in archaic style. The mask fills the central field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The die work reflects the apotropaic tradition common to Parion's civic bronze coinage of the Hellenistic period. |
