| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hermes facing right, wearing the winged petasos characteristic of the deity. The figure is rendered in a provincial Hellenistic style with visible drapery at the shoulder. A caduceus is depicted in association with the bust, serving as the principal divine attribute. The flan is irregular and the surface shows typical wear consistent with ancient bronze coinage of the period. |
