| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity, identified as either Aphrodite or Arsinoe III, facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Ptolemaic coinage. The hair is elaborately dressed and gathered, with visible tresses framing the face. No legend appears in the field, the design occupying the full flan within a plain border. |
