| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Perseus facing right, wearing a Macedonian crested helmet adorned with a griffin protome. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic Hellenistic style with well-defined facial features, the visor of the helmet raised and the cheekpieces visible. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend, and the flan shows the characteristic irregular edge typical of hammered bronze coinage of the period. |
