| Obverse description | Bare head of Hermes facing right, rendered in archaic style with carefully delineated facial features including a prominent nose and defined chin. The deity wears the characteristic petasos, the broad-brimmed traveller's hat depicted with incised hatching along the brim to suggest texture. The portrait fills the flan with no legend or border, consistent with early Classical Thracian coinage practice. |
