| Obverse description | Radiate and laureate head of Zeus-Ammon in right profile, rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with thick, flowing curls framing the face and a ram's horn visible curling behind the ear — the syncretic hallmark of the Ptolemaic dynastic deity. The facial features are boldly modelled with a strong brow, pronounced nose, and full beard, reflecting the high-relief sculptural style characteristic of early Ptolemaic bronze coinage. The effigy is set within a beaded border, with the truncation of the neck falling just above the coin's lower field. |
