| Obverse description | Jugate busts of Zeus and Hera facing right, both diademed and draped, set within a dotted border. Zeus displays curling hair and a laurel wreath, while Hera wears a stephane; the busts are rendered in a bold, high-relief Hellenistic style typical of Aradian civic coinage. The field is plain, with no visible legend or inscription. |
