| Obverse description | Filleted club depicted upright in the center of the field, with decorative fillet ribbons extending diagonally outward from the shaft in four directions, characteristic of the Heraklean cultic symbolism associated with the priestly dynasts of Olba. The club is rendered in relief with a bulbous head tapering to a narrow grip at the base. No legend is present on the obverse. The flan is irregular with a broad, slightly convex surface. |
