| Obverse description | Diademed head of Alexander I Balas facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with idealized features and curling hair bound by a royal diadem, the loose ends of which fall behind the neck. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful appearance associated with this ruler's coinage, set within a plain field. The flan border is encircled by a fine beaded dotted border. |
