| Obverse description | Horned head of Zeus-Ammon in right-facing profile, rendered in the syncretic Ptolemaic tradition combining Greek and Egyptian divine attributes. The deity wears a taenia adorned with a basileion, the royal Egyptian headdress element emblematic of Ptolemaic dynastic iconography. The ram's horn curling before the ear identifies the figure unmistakably as Ammon in his Hellenized form. The portraiture is executed in a bold, rounded style characteristic of early Ptolemaic bronze coinage. No legend appears on the obverse. |
