| Obverse description | Draped bust of Astarte (or a veiled female deity) facing right, the hair rendered in flowing locks beneath a veil, with a dotted border encircling the flan. The portrait is executed in a Phoenician-Hellenistic style, reflecting the cultural synthesis characteristic of the coastal city of Marathos. The facial features are finely modelled with a straight nose and slightly parted lips. |
