| Obverse description | Diademed head of Antiochos IV facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with finely detailed curly hair bound by a royal diadem, the ends of which fall behind the neck. The portrait displays a youthful, idealized effigy with strong facial features. The field is plain and the coin is bordered by a dotted circle. |
