| Obverse description | Diademed head of Zeus-Ammon facing right, rendered in bold relief with the characteristic ram's horn of Ammon curling behind the ear. The hair is depicted in thick, undulating locks radiating from the crown and falling in heavy waves, executed in the vigorous Hellenistic style associated with the early Ptolemaic mint at Alexandria. The broad, fleshy face displays a powerful brow and prominent jaw, conveying divine authority. The field is plain and unadorned, with no visible legend or border inscription on this face of the coin. |
