| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in archaic Greek style. The goddess wears a crested Attic helmet with incised decorative detail visible on the bowl, and a prominent circular scroll motif on the cheekpiece. The facial features are boldly modelled in high relief, with the neck and lower profile filling the flan. No legend is present on this side. |
