| Obverse description | Draped and veiled bust of a female deity facing right, generally identified as Isis or a local Punic goddess, rendered in a Hellenistic style. The veil is drawn closely over the hair and falls behind the neck, with striated detailing visible on the drapery at the truncation. The portrait is set within a plain field with a dotted border visible along the coin's periphery. The facial features are rendered with moderate relief, characteristic of Sicilian-Punic bronze coinage of the period. No legend or inscription appears on this side. |
