| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of Helios, the sun god and patron deity of Rhodes, rendered in three-quarter view with the face turned slightly to the right, surrounded by flowing, wavy hair radiating outward in all directions. The effigy displays the characteristic idealized Hellenistic style, with finely modeled facial features including almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A radiate crown or wreath is discernible atop the head, consistent with the solar iconography of Helios. The high-relief portraiture fills the flan with impressive artistry, leaving minimal field around the bust. The coin's irregular flan edge is typical of hand-struck Rhodian silver coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhodes struck heavily during this period to fund the city's considerable commercial ambitions across the eastern Aegean, and Rhodian silver became among the most trusted trade coinage in the region. The island maintained strict weight standards to protect that reputation. Ashton's sequencing places this issue within a transitional phase of the mint's output, just before the administrative reorganization that followed the synoikism of 408 BC had fully stabilized into the mature Hellenistic series.
