| Obverse description | Head of Isis facing right, wearing a distinctive headdress composed of a modius surmounted by a horned solar disc with feathers, rendered in a Punico-Hellenistic style. The hair is arranged in tight curls or waves along the temple, with a long lock or tress descending behind the neck. A dotted border is partially visible along the coin's periphery. The portrait is executed in bold relief, exhibiting the characteristic blending of Egyptian iconographic elements with Hellenistic artistic conventions prevalent in late Punic Sicilian coinage. |
