| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Homer facing right, rendered with flowing long hair and beard in a distinctly idealised Hellenistic style. The portrait displays finely engraved locks cascading over the shoulders, evoking the traditional iconography of the blind poet. The circular Greek legend OMHPOC AMACTPIANON runs around the periphery within a dotted border, identifying the figure as Homer of the Amastrians. |
