| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in a schematic, locally interpreted style derived from Athenian prototype coinage. The Corinthian helmet is depicted with a prominent crest and engraved decorative details, while the facial features — almond-shaped eye, defined nose, and lips — are stylized yet recognizable. The neck and cheek-guards of the helmet are rendered with parallel incised lines. The overall die-work reflects a provincial imitation of the classical Athenian tetradrachm type, adapted by local Lihyanite engravers. |
