| Obverse description | Draped bust of Eros facing right, wearing a wreath of leaves or flowers, rendered in the Hellenistic artistic tradition typical of late Seleucid bronze coinage. The hair is elaborately styled with a floral or leafy crown, and the bust is set against a plain field within an irregular flan. A row of dots is visible above the effigy, suggesting a partial border or pellet arrangement. The surfaces display the characteristic patina and wear of a circulated hammered bronze issue. |
