| Obverse description | Bare head of Apollo-Carneius facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with richly detailed curling hair adorned with a small horn of Ammon above the brow, referencing the syncretic deity worshipped at Cyrene. The modelling of the facial features is accomplished and naturalistic, with a clean jaw line, sensitively rendered eye, and full lips. The field is plain, with no legend or border visible. |
