| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in a bold, archaic-influenced style characteristic of late Classical Peloponnesian bronze coinage. The hair is dressed in tight curls beneath the laurel wreath, with locks falling along the nape of the neck. The facial features are strongly modelled, with a pronounced brow, well-defined nose, and firm chin. The surfaces show typical green patination consistent with ancient bronze. |
