| Obverse description | Facing head of Helios rendered in three-quarter view, turned slightly to the right, with wavy hair radiating outward in thick, flowing locks framing the face on all sides. The deity's features are modeled in high relief with characteristic Rhodian artistry, displaying a serene, idealized expression. The broad, uncluttered field emphasizes the bold sculptural quality of the portrait, which occupies nearly the full flan. No legend or subsidiary device appears on the obverse. |
