| Obverse description | Facing right, the helmeted head of Athena is depicted in three-quarter view, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a serpent coil at the bowl. The hair falls in loose locks beneath the helmet rim, rendered in a fluid Hellenistic style. The surface of the field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The portrait is boldly conceived, characteristic of early Seleucid bronze coinage struck at Sardes under Seleukos I Nikator. |
