| Obverse description | Radiate and diademed head of Alexander II Zabinas facing right, depicted with flowing hair adorned by a radiate crown and diadem, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The effigy displays finely modeled facial features characteristic of late Seleucid bronze coinage. The coin is struck within a beaded border on a broad, irregular flan. |
