| Obverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with carefully detailed curling locks and a prominent laurel wreath crown. The facial features are finely modelled, with a straight nose, slightly parted lips, and a serene expression characteristic of late Classical and early Hellenistic Apollo types from Miletos. The hair falls in richly worked waves behind the neck, and the wreath is rendered with individual leaves in high relief. The field is unadorned, with no legend or inscription on the obverse. |
