| Obverse description | Radiate and diademed head of Zeus-Ammon facing right, rendered with flowing wavy hair and a full beard treated in bold, deeply struck locks characteristic of Ptolemaic die-cutting. The god wears a composite headdress combining the ram's horn of Ammon with a radiate crown, reflecting the syncretic religious iconography of Ptolemaic Egypt. The powerful modelling of the facial features displays a high standard of Alexandrian workmanship. The field is plain, and the design is contained within a beaded border encircling the coin's periphery. |
