| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Antiochos XII Dionysos facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition with curling hair confined beneath a royal diadem. The king's features are depicted in profile with characteristic Late Seleucid stylization, the drapery of the paludamentum visible at the truncation. The portrait fills the flan with no surrounding legend, the reverse carrying the full royal titulature. |
