| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and beard flowing in thick, naturalistic locks. The laurel wreath is depicted with individual leaves curving backward from the brow. The portrait displays the powerful, mature physiognomy characteristic of Hellenistic representations of Zeus, with pronounced facial features and a broad neck. The field is bordered by a dotted bead ring. |
