| Obverse description | Draped bust of Tanit facing left, depicted with graceful, idealized features in the Hellenistic style. The hair is rendered in flowing, wavy locks drawn back from the face and bound with a wreath of grain or laurel, with loose curls descending behind the neck. The effigy occupies the full central field of the flan, with no visible inscription or legend. |
