| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of King Archelaus I of Cappadokia facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with curling hair and a royal diadem with trailing ends visible behind the neck. The portrait is naturalistic and deeply struck, displaying characteristically fine modelling of the facial features including a slightly parted mouth and a well-defined profile. The field is smooth and unlettered, the entire composition centred on the royal effigy within a plain border. |
