| Obverse description | Male head in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with a prominent crested bowl rendered in a crosshatched lattice pattern. The facial features are rendered with characteristic archaic-to-early-classical stylization, with a well-defined eye, strong chin, and slightly parted lips. A serpent is depicted rising before the face, its body coiling upward with the head positioned beneath the chin, serving as a divine or heroic attribute. The flan is irregular and slightly thick, consistent with early Illyrian hammered coinage. No legend appears on the obverse. |
