| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing, wavy hair elaborately dressed and bound with a laurel wreath. The facial features are delicately modeled with a straight nose, well-defined lips, and a smooth, youthful countenance. The neck is subtly articulated, and the overall relief is high and plastically conceived, characteristic of skilled Milesian die-cutting of the mid-Hellenistic period. The field is plain and uncluttered, focusing attention entirely on the god's refined portrait. |
