| Obverse description | Diademed and bearded portrait of Demetrios II Nikator facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with a richly detailed diadem tied at the back. The hair is elaborately wavy and dressed with a prominent laurel-like wreath, with loose strands falling behind the ear. The full beard is carefully articulated with individual curling locks, conveying regal authority. The effigy occupies the full obverse field with no surrounding legend, a hallmark of Seleucid royal coinage of this period. |
