| Obverse description | Bare head of Zeus Ammon facing right, depicted with characteristic ram's horn curling behind the ear, rendered in a Hellenistic style. A sceptre is placed vertically before the bust in the field. The portrait is boldly modelled in high relief, with well-defined facial features despite the coin's worn surfaces. The field is otherwise plain, with no surrounding legend. |

| Additional information |
Lucius Lollius served as quaestor pro praetore of Cyrenaica under the broader reorganization of Rome's eastern provinces following Actium — a period when the region's civic coinage was tightly bound to whichever Roman administrator held authority. Cyrene's mint had a long tradition of issuing bronze in the names of local magistrates, and Lollius appears across a notable range of die combinations catalogued under this type, suggesting a sustained rather than ceremonial issue.
