| Obverse description | Diademed head of Ariarathes V Eusebes in right-facing profile, the royal diadem tied at the nape with ribbon ends trailing behind. The portrait is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition with finely articulated facial features, a strong jawline, and elaborately styled hair swept back from the forehead in layered waves. The flan is slightly irregular with no border or surrounding legend, the effigy occupying the full field in the manner characteristic of Cappadocian royal coinage. |
