| Obverse description | Diademed head of Alexander I Balas facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with fine facial detail. The diadem ribbons fall behind the neck, and the portrait is set within a beaded border. The flan exhibits the characteristic irregular, serrated edge typical of this bronze denomination. The field shows moderate die wear consistent with circulation. |
