| Obverse description | Diademed bare head of Antiochos VII facing right, with neatly rendered hair falling in waves behind the ear and a royal diadem tied at the back. The portrait is executed in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of late Seleucid coinage, with strong facial features and a youthful, idealized countenance. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered silver issues of this period, with no border or legend on the obverse. |
