| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a raised crest, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition. The goddess's facial features are boldly modeled, with the cheek-guards of the helmet framing the profile. A dotted border encircles the design within the coin's irregular flan. |

She holds a ship's tiller in her right hand, referencing the maritime significance of Antioch, and a cornucopia (horn of plenty) in her left arm. The royal Greek legend is disposed in the fields flanking the figure, with control marks appearing in the inner left field. |
