| Obverse description | Bare head of Hermes facing left, wearing a broad-brimmed petasos tilted slightly upward. The portrait is rendered in a plain archaic-to-early classical style typical of Kephallenian civic coinage, with visible surface patination consistent with the bronze fabric. The field is flat and unadorned. |
