| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Apollo facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of the Hadrianic period. The deity's long hair falls in distinctive locks cascading down the nape of the neck, a hallmark iconographic attribute of Apollo on Megarian civic coinage. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily patinated, consistent with a hammered provincial bronze issue. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
